Two children in Wantage are looking forward to cruising round in a VW Beetle for the day after they won the top raffle prize at a money-spinning beetle drive.

Michael and Emily Bird

Eight-year-old Michael Bird, of Wantage Primary School, was the winner of the prize draw, and has offered to share his prize with his six-year-old sister Emily.

The prize entitles the children, and their parents Dave and Sally, of Black Croft, Wantage, to a free day's use of a VW Beetle convertible.

The prize was donated by the Ridgeway Garage, in Wantage, to the Friends of the school to raffle off at the beetle drive.

Seventy people attended the event at the school, which raised about £220.
