A CHEPSTOW family will have a day out to remember – thanks to Chepstow Round Table.

To mark the 25th anniversary of the Round Table Children's Wish, 100 families from across the UK will flock to Drayton Manor theme park this Saturday (4th July).

Round Table Children's Wish is a charity which grants hand-crafted wishes to children with life-limiting illnesses.

Chepstow Round Table have nominated a family from their community with a child aged between four and 17 years who is suffering from or has recovered from a life-threatening illness. They've also contributed towards the costs of the family attending the event.

The event is being supported by Drayton Manor, the Round Table Trust and individual Tables across country.

They'll be joined on the day by Olympic silver-medallist Sharron Davies who is taking part in the event marking the 25th anniversary of Round Table Children's Wish.

The swimmer-turned-TV presenter will play a huge part in the celebrations being organised by the National Association of Round Tables of Great Britain and Ireland at Drayton Manor Theme Park, Staffordshire.

Director of Round Table Children's Wish, Karen Winchcombe, said: "The Biggest Wish is such an amazing way to mark our 25th birthday here at Round Table Children's Wish. 

"Our charity is about children who have been through so much, battling illness and receiving long and often painful treatments. It is only fitting that children are at the centre of what we do and this event gives even more children a chance to have fun whilst creating long lasting memories.

"Now we also have Sharron Davies MBE on-board, a real highlight for all those children attending and everyone who is involved with the Biggest Wish."

The Biggest Wish, which has been 12 months in the planning, will also highlight the impact Round Tables have in their communities.

Round Table president Marcus Jones said: "Over the past 25 years Round Table Children's Wish has made a difference to hundreds of children and their families.

"The Biggest Wish is an ambitious project which has seen many of our clubs pull together to provide some much needed happiness to these children and their families.

"Round Table members make a difference to their own communities every single day, but the Biggest Wish its largest co-ordinated project for a number of years."
