| 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:

| 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. |
