GROWING enthusiasm for Ambleside and Lakes Parish in Bloom has led organisers to extend the entry deadline.

Proud gardeners with something to brag about have until Friday, August 4, to enter the floral competition.

Categories include shops, restaurants, guest houses, hotels, visitor attractions, small and large private gardens and a general class, including commercial premises, public buildings, places of worship and open spaces.

Simply contact Dave Capstick on 015394 32252 or Robin Martakies on 015394 31656, and leave your name, address, telephone number and which category you want to enter.
