Do you know those who wanted to be Miss Border TV 1968?

In 1968, a number of Cumbrian women took part in a Border TV heat for the title Miss ITV.

The 11 finalists. The woman at the back is called Janice, says J Foster, who adds: "She had the same piano teacher as me and she had been in the paper prior to this competition because she was the youngest ever person to pass her grade 8 piano exam."

Fifth right, says Marcia Roach, is her auntie Mrs Barbara Scales (nee Wedgwood), of Cockermouth.

Does anybody recognise the other contestants?

Were you one of those who took part or were you a judge?
