31147-52ARSENAL fans have the chance to bid for a signed pennant and help pre-school fundraisers at the same time.

The Premier League-winning club has donated the banner to Wootton Bassett's Old Court Community Pre-School.

Staff are desperately trying to raise enough cash to pay for a covered walkway linking their two classrooms. They were delighted when Arsenal bosses responded to a letter asking for memorabilia to help their cause.

The pannant signed by all the team, including star players Denis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry is worth around £600.

Fundraiser Helen Stacey, whose son, Sam, attends the nursery, said: "We were delighted with the donation, which comes with a certificate of authenticity." Fans have until July 14 to bid. Bids can be made by calling 01793 849783, or by post to Old Court Pre-School, Station Road, Wootton Bassett, Swindon, SN4 8QY.
