STAFF at Bolton Methodist Mission are hoping Bolton Evening News readers can make light of their problem.

They had so many candles left over in church from Christmas that they didn't know what to do -- until today.

They are now asking readers to phone them with a solution.

Administration assistant Rebecca Kearns said: "After Christmas we were left with lots of candles that we couldn't use.

"We don't know what to do with them. But hopefully someone might come up with a good idea now."

Anyone with any ideas should call the Methodist Mission at Victoria Hall on 522569.
