THE search is on to find East Lancashire's fittest dad.

Any dad who is into fitness in a big way then he could be crowned as the UK's Fittest Dad and his family could win vouchers for a weekend break.

William Jackson Bakery wants youngsters to tell them in less than 200 words why their dad is so healthy that he deserves to win, whether he plays football with the kids, runs round in his tracksuit and trainers, or does the gardening and helps with the housework.

Entries with a photo of dad in action can be sent to UK's Fittest Dad competition, PO Box SM50, Leeds, LS25 5XD.

The closing date is June 8, 2000 and the winner will be announced on Father's Day, June 18.
