RAINHILL Civic Society are once again staging their annual 'Rainhill in Bloom' gardening competition.

The competition is judging front gardens this year and anyone who lives in Rainhill is eligible to enter as long as their garden is visible from the road.

Last date for entries is Sunday, July 9 and judging will be done throughout the last week in July.

The winner will receive gardening vouchers and a silver rose bowl which Rainhill Parish Council presented to the civic society in 1994 to mark the society's centenary year. Entry forms are available from Rainhill Library in View Road.
