HOST families are needed in Bromsgrove and Redditch for French students who will be visiting the area for dates in February.

For the fourth year running, a large group of students will travel from France to enjoy local Midland attractions, including a trip to Cadbury World, Stratford-upon-Avon, and a local fish and chip shop.

Homes are needed for February 13-17.

Organiser Lisa Mistry, from Bromsgrove, said: "This is a great way to exchange language and culture, although you don't need to speak French.

"If you are within commutable distance of Wychbold, Bromsgrove and Longbridge meeting points, and would like more information about hosting, then please contact me on 07702 504495 or email: l.mistry@aol.co.uk."

Hospitality will be financially rewarded.
