Be Bright and Beautiful at The Rose Bowl!

It will be possible to be both bright and beautiful during next week's One Day International at The Rose Bowl.

For those wishing to be well-informed about current affairs whilst enjoying the spectacle of South Africa versus Zimbabwe in the NatWest series One Day International, there will be 2,500 free `give-away' copies of The Times newspaper on offer at the Hampshire ground.

And if, as has been predicted, both the weather and the batting are hot, hot, hot, in association with the Marie Curie Cancer charity, The Rose Bowl will also have a stand supplying complimentary sun-creams to soothe and tan even the most fevered of brows as the sun and the competition reaches its peak.

Advance bookings for the ODI are already exceeding The Rose Bowl's expectations with over 6000 tickets pre-sold. Tickets and information are available from The Rose Bowl's ticket hotline on 0870 243 0291 or by e-mail on tickets@rosebowlplc.com. Prices are £25 for adults and £12.50 for under sixteens. A park and ride facility from Junction 8 of the M27 is also available at £7 per car.
