Is it a bird, is it a plane…

Wearing a specially created A-board, Boo the Doberman and Gemma Porter (dressed as a Red Arrow and wearing roller-skates) of Parliament Speakers have been turning heads in Bournemouth to highlight the event on Friday August 21 at the Pier Theatre. The event in aid of Round Table Children&quo;s Wish takes place during this year&quo;s Bournemouth Air Festival. It´´s hosted by former Olympian and World Champion Derek Redmond and provides a unique opportunity to find out more about the pilots and ask them some burning questions.<br /> <br /> Gemma said: "Boo is owned by a member of our team, she usually wears a special backpack when she&quo;s walked with a couple of small bottles of water in it to give her more of a workout, but this seemed a great opportunity to do something a bit different. "Judging by the response we get from people, canine advertising could well be the way forward. We´´re making people laugh and letting them know about a brilliant charity event at the same time."<br /> <br /> The show, organised by Parliament Speakers, starts at 8pm and those who arrive early will have a chance to have their photos taken with the pilots and Derek Redmond. An after show party takes place in Key West Bar and will feature a prize draw, special Red Arrows cocktails, a barbecue and hog roast as well as music from Samba Panashe, beach games, competitions with prizes donated by local businesses and music until 2am from Fire Radio DJ Jay Rachet.<br /> <br /> Tickets can be purchased in advance: £12 for the show (£10 for children under 12) and £20 for the show and after party. Subject to availability tickets will also be sold on the night for £14.50 (£10 for children under 12) and £8 for the after party (over 18s only).<br /> <br /> To buy tickets call 0844 8472391 or visit www.ticketmaster.com or for further information visit www.rtcw-airshow.co.uktest
