Winners of a special trail that took place over the Easter holidays have been congratulated by Chipping Sodbury Library and Sodbury in Bloom.

Over the holidays the two community groups ran a Winnie the Pooh Trail for children and families.

It involved a number of characters from the popular books being placed all over the old market town.

It is believed that over one thousand people took part in the trail, with over 260 entries for the competition being received by the groups.

Three winners were then selected by the Friends of Chipping Sodbury Library and Sodbury In Bloom and were rewarded by the groups.

The three winners were given special certificates by Jane Lund, a member of the Friends of Chipping Sodbury Library and Sodbury In Bloom.

Jane herself had recently just won an inaugural Mayor's award for her service to the community.

Evelyn Brown aged four, Alex Fortune aged five and William Andrews aged nine were the three recipients.

A spokesperson for the trail said: "It was a great trail this year and we saw quite a few people taking part.

"Chipping Sodbury Library and Sodbury In Bloom would like to express their thanks to the Chipping Sodbury Chamber of Commerce for sponsoring the trail and everyone who helped to create and set it up."
