A 78-YEAR-old fundraiser is jumping out of an aeroplane for the fifth time.

Michael Pullin will be doing the skydive on Friday with Norma Blake, 51, Hayley Morris, 47 and Darren Minett, 28 to raise money for St Michael's Hospice.

Mr Pullin has raised more than £250,000 for the hospice in Bartestree and is aiming to raise £31,000 this year.

He said he does not feel nervous as this will be the fifth time he has done a parachute jump.

On September 6 The Vintage Summer Party takes place at St Richard's School in Bredenbury Court, Bromyard with free entry.

There will be music, a bar and vintage cars. The Hospice Angels will do a ride-out.

On September 13 Sara Fulgoni, a British mezzo-soprano, will perform at College Hall at Hereford Cathedral at 7.30pm. Tickets are £17.50 from the hospice or from Outback Classical Recordings in Church Street, Hereford.

Call Mr Pullin on 07454 155411 to sponsor him or for more information on these events.
