YOUNGSTERS are hoping to persuade their mums to get their skates on and take part in a Mother's Day treat with a difference.

Billingham Forum, on Teesside, is offering free admission to all mothers who go ice-skating or swimming with their children between 10am and noon next Sunday.

Roy Maplebeck, assistant manager of Forum Leisure, said: "This is just our way of giving mums a special chance to enjoy themselves with their youngsters on Mother's Day."
