The annual garden fete held at Holy Trinity Church, Barnoldswick, on Saturday, could be termed as a washout success!
For despite the rain putting a damper on much of the outdoor activities, officials were able to report a total profit from the event of almost £300.
Prior to the official opening, the crowning of the new Rose Queen, Miss Caroline Aldersley, of Coates Estate, Barnoldswick, was held with, among others, the retinue, the Misses Claire Walsh, Ingleborough Drive, Barnoldswick, and Gina Pickles, Manchester Road, Barnoldswick, looking on.
