| The search is on to find Newcastle’s
new Rose  THE
search is on once more for the Newcastle upon Tyne Rose Of Tralee.
The winner could go on to represent the region at the main competition
this year. Contestants must be aged 18-27, be of Irish descent and have
no children.
The Newcastle Rose selection will take place in Jury’s Doyle Hotel
on April 21. After a drinks reception and buffet the final will then move
to the Tyneside Irish Centre.
Sheena Greaves is the chairperson of the centre and has successfully sent
two girls from Newcastle to the International Rose of Tralee final. She
believes the Rose Of Tralee offers the experience of a lifetime and urges
those meeting the requirements to step forward.
She said: “This is something that young girls all over the world
have dreamed about since they were young.
“They have all watched the competition on television as young girls
and now the opportunity is there for them to take part. My role is to
give them a platform and to nurture and encourage. I want them to get
all the way to Tralee.”
The main sponsor for this year’s Newcastle upon Tyne selection process
is Margaret Mellor from Tourism Ireland. She will be one of the judges
at the event and will present a piece of Irish crystal to the winning
rose.
So if you think you have what it takes to be the region’s Rose you
