MORE than 30 members of staff at Taunton took home a baby last week to compete in a parenting competition to raise money for National Adoption Week (November 6-10) and Children in Need.

The virtual babies were given to employees at Foot Anstey, including members of the management board, provided by Exeter Primary Care Trust, are programmed to cry at any time of the day or night.

To find out how they got on, see Thursday's County Gazette.
