A BLOOMING good show was held at the Unitarian Church, Rawtenstall.

Rawtenstall, Edgeside and District Gardeners' Show took place with a huge increase in the number of people entering the cookery section.

Show secretary Dawn Taylor said: "The weather has not helped at all this year.

"It destroyed the chysanthemums section but I think we made up for it in other sections, such as the ever popular handicrafts and cookery sections."

Next year the show will be in its 88th year. Mrs Taylor added: "To make sure we make it to the 88th year we need new members and committee members."

Anybody wanting to help out at the show should contact Dawn Taylor on 01706 211272.
