THE appeal to save Colchester’s Roman circus now has its own range of merchandise.

Organisers have teamed up with an internet mail order firm to launch mugs, t-shirts and shopping bags, branded with the Gazette’s special circus logo.

Twenty-five per cent of the proceeds from each item sold will be donated to the cause and sales will also help to further promote the fundraising drive.
