CHILDREN in Leominster are being urged to enter a competition in aid of the town's swimming pool fund.

The prize is a family ticket for four people to see The Bear In The Big Blue House, a popular TV programme aimed at children under six, at the NEC arena on February 13.

We Want Our Pool appeal fund spokesman Ian McEwan said £1 would buy a sheet of questions that children should be able to answer. All proceeds would boost the pool fund.

Sheets are available from Pauline's Boutique, Fletchers Newsagents and other outlets. Closing date for return of completed forms is February 7.
