A NATIONAL award ceremony due to take place in Bradford tomorrow has been postponed due to the forecast for snow in the district.

The British Muslim Awards will now be held in February at the same venue - The Bradford Hotel, Hall Ings, Bradford.

A spokesman for Oceanic Consulting, which organises the event, said: "The event has been postponed to February 19 due to heavy snow in the Bradford area this week."

The awards are designed to honor inspiring and remarkable British Muslims and a number of Bradford people and organisations have been shortlisted.
