AN appeal has been made for conkers.

Plans are in hand for a half term holiday conker competition in Ludlow.

But the event at the Rock Spring Centre is dependent upon a plentiful supply of conkers which is seems are in short supply.

“I am not sure if it is an indication of how the seasons are changing but there do not seem to be as many conkers around at this time of the year as I remember when I was young,” said Graeme Perks, one of the organisers.

Anyone with conkers can take them to the centre based in Sandford Road.
