WELCOME

13 January 2012. The date has been set for the Blooming Hayle celebration on the King George V Memorial Walk - Sunday 24 June 2012, noon to 5pm.

Here are some reminders from the hugely successful 2011 event:

 
 
24 Oct 2011. The second annual Cornwall in Bloom awards ceremony was held at the Eden Project on the 12th of October. Hayle in Bloom won four awards. Click on the pictures below for larger versions. Well done to us!

Margaret Tanner - Local Hero
26 Sept 2011. Join us at Brewer's Fayre on Friday, 14 October at 10am to go through our route and make a snag list. All welcome.
15 Sept 2011. A team from Hayle in Bloom took a coach up to the Atlantic Hotel in Newquay for the 2011 South West in Bloom Award Presentations.

The morning focused on the 'In Your Neighbourhood' awards and Hayle did very well. There are five levels: Establishing, Improving, Developing, Thriving and Outstanding. Here are the results:

Bob Lloyd's Field Developing
Library Wildlife Garden Developing
Adopt-a-Plot Thriving
Heather Lane Nursery Thriving
Allotments on Lethlean Lane Thriving
King George V Memorial Walk Outstanding
This is an amazing result, especially the allotments that were only opened in March! Congratulations.

Of course, our attention was focused on how well we had done in the main competition. This year we moved up from the SWTA Cup to the Preece Cup. We had won the SWTA Cup four years in a row!

In the higher group we also had more competition:

  • Midsomer Norton
  • Glastonbury
  • Sidmouth
  • Sodbury
  • Hayle

Firstly it was announced that we had won GOLD! However, four of the entrants had won Gold so it came down to who had the most points in a very close race.

This year it went to Sidmouth and, while we a little disappointed, we were still delighted to keep our unbroken record in recent years of winning Gold - particularly in a year of cutbacks. Well done to all.

Shown (L-R), Toby Buckland, TV horticulturist, Mike, John, Margaret, Anne-Marie and mayor John Bennett. (Click the picture for a larger version)
 
15 Sept 2011. Our webmaster and his extensive team of web technical and editorial personnel were delighted to receive a cup for the Best Website. This was the Barry Cruse Trophy which is a discretionary award by the judges.
