Members Of The England Cricket Team Hit The Gym @ Royal Westmoreland

Members of the England cricket team and coaching staff hit the gym this week at Royal Westmoreland, Barbados, in order to prepare for the up coming Stanford Super Series in Antigua.

With millions of pounds up for grabs many of the players have decided to stay at the Caribbean's most prestigious resort in order to acclimatise and to keep fit in the estate's state of the art fitness facilities. The award-winning Robert Trent Jones Jnr designed golf course has been left strangely empty, a testament to quite how serious they're taking the tournament!

Celebrity and the Caribbean come to Lancashire for Charity Ball

The greatest England cricket hero of recent years, a Hollywood actress and one of the BBC’s very own Dragons will be amongst those helping to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care, at the Pure Leisure Group’s Caribbean Ball this weekend.

To celebrate the fifth annual charity ball, John Morphet, Lancashire entrepreneur and owner of Pure Leisure Group, decided to take on a slightly different theme by transforming his own home into a Caribbean extravaganza, where nearly 300 guests will be treated to an evening of entertainment and serious money raising in the charity auction.

Actress Emma Samms, who shot to fame as Fallon Carrington Colby in US supersoap Dynasty, will be bringing some Hollywood glamour to the event again this year while Lancashire and England sporting star Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff and his wife Rachael will provide a local celebrity presence.

Entrepreneur, and now more famously known as one of the Dragons on the BBC2 series Dragon’s Den, Duncan Bannatyne, will be on hand to encourage guests to part with their cash and help raise as much money as possible.

Prizes are set to include: a luxury holiday at Royal Westmoreland, Barbados; a Lotus driving experience at Croft Circuit; a Chopard diamond pendant; one of Freddie Flintoff’s test match shirts, signed by the great man himself; beauty treatments; Fortnum and Mason hampers and much much more!
