ORGANISERS of Stourport Carnival have launched their search for this year's queen, princess and rosebud.

The three will be chosen at a ceremony at Stourport Yacht Club in Engine Lane on Sunday, May 11.

But entry forms, which are available from Pete's Prints in Bridge Street as well as below, need to be returned by Friday, May 2.

The rosebud, who will be chosen at 1pm, will be aged between five and nine, while the princess will be between 10 and 15 and will be chosen at 3pm.

Entrants for these two roles must live in Stourport while hopefuls in the carnival queen category, which is open to 16 to 21-year-olds, should hail from within a 10-mile radius of the town. The winner will be picked out at 7pm.

All entrants should be within the allotted age brackets on the day of the carnival - Saturday, September 6.

Forms should be returned to Pete Roberts at Pete's Prints, 26 Bridge Street, Stourport, DY13 8UR.
