THE president of Richmond Meet has revealed her badge for this year.

Pauline Dowse has chosen a black and gold design depicting Durham Cathedral, because she was born in County Durham, and the obelisk of Richmond Market Place.

Each president designs a badge as their banner for the year.

Mrs Dowse yesterday appealed for people to get involved in the meet on May Bank Holiday weekend.

She said: "Our plans are well under way but we can always use help and advice from new members and patrons.

"This year, we really want to make a big effort on the parade but we can't do all the floats ourselves. I am asking all the groups in Richmond area to give it a shot this year and enter a float."

She can be contacted on (01748) 822840.
