With just 15 places up for grabs for the Miss England Final, competition was tough.
Catherine was joined by 8 other regional winners from the North West. Self self titled “Team North” met at Chester Railway Station to travel down to Leicestershire by minibus which gave them lots of time to bond.
The girls stayed overnight in Nottingham before moving on the Leicestershire for the next day’s Semi Final.
Each girl had to have a panel interview in their self created “Eco Wear” – an outfit made from recycled or ethically sourced materials.
Catherine’s creation wowed the judges and had special mention on the Miss England website.
Then each girl took part in the Sports Challenge, a Royal Navy Bleep Test. This really tested the stamina and was won by Miss Southpport, Abi Bridgeman who travelled down with Catherine.
