With out doubt this Club Wednesfield Aces, are one of the best run sporting clubs here in the City. I know that they are actively seeking sponsorship to help stage this wonderful event and I would appeal to Wolverhampton Business to look to helping them with their request for sponsors.

Things like a coat of paint on the approaches to the cycle track, painting the garage doors that front the venue and other sorts of help. Both Phil and I are very excited that Wednesfield Aces have pulled this event off. It is a great way of showcasing the best of sporting achievement in a genuine European championship.....move over Birmingham Wolverhampton is after your sporting events crown!"
