A group of friends will no doubt be even closer after taking part in a charity skydive.

Jayne Laken, of Castle Lane, Castle Hedingham, Tim Root of Edmund Green, Gosfield, and husband and wife George and Chris Maragkakis, of Greenfields, Gosfield, will tandem jump from a plane at 10,000ft on June 19.

It is all in aid of Bliss, a charity close to their hearts which provides support and care to premature and sick babies.

To raise cash for Bliss, a jumble sale is taking place on Saturday from 10am to 12pm at the Maurice Rowson Hall in Gosfield.

To buy a table top, costing £5, or donate items contact 0797 4618499.

There will also be a quiz night at the Kings Head in Gosfield at 8pm on March 28.

Teams must be made up of six people, costing £4 a head. Contact 01787 474016.

For those unable to attend the events visit www.cosmicjump2010.co.uk to donate.
