A PARALYMPIC gold medalist is coming to Bromyard to boost a club's olympic credentials.

Officials have approved Bromyard Equestrian Centre (BEC) as a training camp for the 2012 London Olympics and Paralympics.

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance for the centre to impress the equestrian world, while boosting the local economy.

There’s a taste of things to come at a paralympic fundraising evening on Friday, 6 June.

Dressage stars Lee Pearson MBE OBE - a six-times paralympic gold medalist - and acclaimed rider, Matt Frost, are the big draw.

The pair will provide demonstrations on various horses, while a raffle, charity auction and entertainment will take place from 7pm.

Tickets are priced £10 for adults, £5 for children, and are available from the BEC on 01885 400650, or from the BEC’s website.
