THIS year’s Woodvale Rally is due to return to Southport this June – and we have TEN family passes to be won in our great competitio­n.

Family passes cost £16 each, and allow entry to two adults and three children.

The popular annual event takes place at Victoria Park on Saturday, June 18 and Sunday, June 19.

Visitors will be delighted to hear that model aircraft will be returning to the 2016 event.

The Liverpool and District Model Aircraft Society (LADMAS) will have ’planes flying on both days from 10am until 4.30pm.

There will also be static models on display and flight stimulator­s so visitors can fly the models on three TV screens. A large model Lancaster bomber and jets will also be taxiing twice a day and jet engines will also be running.

Andy Johnson, from LADMAS, said: “We have been involved with the rally for more than 40 years, After a twoyear break we are glad to be back and hoping to put on a good display for the public with lots to see and try out throughout the two days.

“We will be flying a wide range of models including helicopter­s and quad ’copters (drones) and electric powered planes.”

The Woodvale Rally provides a fun filled, value for money weekend for all the family.

The always popular Crazy Bears will be there again as will the West Lancashire Dog Display Team who will be performing twice a day.

Jema Leopold will also take to the main arena with her amazing performing horses.
