AN INTERNATIONALLY renowned artist is to auction a first print painting for the Stratton Play Park cause.

When SPARC (Stratton Play Area Regeneration Committee) was set up in March, member Felicity James invited her old best friend from Stratton Primary School, Pam Glew, to follow the Facebook page.

Ms Glew grew up in Stratton and attended the village primary school and went on to attend Budehaven Community School.

Ms James said: "She contacted me immediately with an extremely generous offer."
