An old-fashioned wooden "airer" is being sought by Ledbury-based rag rug expert Ann Davies.

Mrs Davies supplied rag rugs used in the film Calendar Girls which will feature in a replication of the set at the Sewing for Pleasure exhibition, held at Birmingham's NEC next month.

But Mrs Davies is lacking the wooden airing stand used in the original set and is appealing for help.

She said: "As a thank-you, two complementary tickets for the show will be presented by the organisers, International Craft and Hobby Fairs."
