YOUR child has the chance to become 'Mascot for the Night' to the high-flying Swindon Robins speedway team in a brilliant free-to-enter competition.

In conjunction with our friends at the Robins, the Wilts and Glos Standard is looking for a mascot to join the team at the Sky Sports Elite League fixture against Belle Vue Aces on Thursday, July 10.

It promises to be a terrific night of speedway action as Belle Vue boast former world champion Jason Crump and the ever-popular Charlie Gjedde, who remains a Swindon asset.

The Robins, led by Captain Fantastic' and World No 2 Leigh Adams, will have to be on their best form to see off the Manchester side.

With 15 races guaranteed, the excitement never dips and your child could be right in the midst of it all.

The Swindon Robins Mascot Package includes: * Free entry along with two adults and up to two additional children.

* Complementary race-day programme which includes your child's picture and profile.

* Pre-meeting Pits Walk.

* Joining the team for the Pre-meeting Parade.

* Introduction to the crowd along with the riders.

* Complementary Swindon Robins replica race shirt.

* Framed photo collage of the evening.

The package normally retails at £75 and promises to give your child a never-to-be-forgotten night on Thursday, July 10.

In addition, we are adding a copy of Jeff Scott's classic speedway book, 'Shale Britannia' to the prize.

All you have to do to win is answer the following question: What is the name of the Swindon Robins manager? Is it: a) Alan Whicker b) Alun Rossiter c) Alan Partridge Now send your answer, along with your name, address and daytime telephone number to: Speedway Mascot Competition, Wilts and Glos Standard, 74 Dyer Street, Cirencester, Glos, GL7 2PW to arrive no later than Tuesday, July 1.

The first correct answer drawn will win the Mascot package at the Robins home match against Belle Vue.
