WE suppose it could be described as "blooming marvellous" - a web-site for Bolton's flower fanciers.

The North of England Horticultural Society, organisers of the Harrogate Spring and Autumn Flower Shows, is launching its brand new Internet web-site on Monday.

Now, prospective visitors to the shows can tap into the web-site and plan their day with detailed site plans and access maps.

And, at the same time, they can check out admission times and prices, catering facilities and travel advice.

Horticulture has never been so hi-tec.

You can visit the web-site at www.flowershow.org.uk or email info@flowershow.org.uk

And talking of web-sites...former Bolton Norweb employee, Paul Wilde has been recruited by a Cheshire-based company to set up their web-site.

Paul's an accomplished cartoonist who's been featured in the BEN and a chance meeting has led to him being asked by M&H Professional Computer Systems Ltd, Althrincham, to set up the site.
