| The Hayle in Bloom team went to Weston Super Mare to hear the results of the 2012 South West in Bloom competition. | ||||||||||||||||||
| The morning session is about Neighbourhood Awards and we got plenty of those: the Railway Walk, Bob’s Meadow, Library Wildlife Garden, Adopt-a-Plotters, Allotments and King George V Memorial Walk. | ||||||||||||||||||
| But the afternoon is when the big announcements are made. Hayle is in a group where most of the other towns are twice the size and the competition is fierce. The names were called and lots of Silver-Gilt awards were given. But Hayle got Gold - the only Gold! That meant we also won the Preece Cup! Cue cheering in the aisles. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Well done to the Hayle in Bloom team, our gardener Mike Kemp and his helpers Tony and Anne-Marie. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 11 July 2012. The big day is tomorrow and the forecast is for heavy rain! Nothing new there then :-(. Make sure you have your waterproofs. | ||||||||||||||||||

Blooming Hayle - Jubilee Edition June 3rd |
||||||||||||||||||
| Hayle in Bloom will be hosting the biggest party of the year on the King George V Memorial Walk in Hayle on Sunday, June 3rd. This year it will be combined with the Diamond Jubilee celebrations to bring you an even bigger festival than 2011. There will be bands, choirs, dance events, lots of stalls, yummy food, water-based activities such as gig rowing and jet skiing, bird watching, historical guided walks, ice creams, fun for the children, parades and lots more! And, why not bring your street party down to the Memorial Walk and let’s see if we can stretch from the greenhouses to the Black Road with them? Like last year, businesses, charities and organisations can, for a small fee, put up a stall and the road will be closed from 11am until 6pm. Set up is from 11am until 11:50am and the event will be opened at noon with a ribbon cutting, rousing chorus of God Save the Queen and the band leading the way along the Walk. Come and bring friends and neighbours to enjoy the Memorial Walk - our “jewel in the crown”. Put the date in your diary and, if you want a stall or street party space, book early. All enquiries to: bloominghayle@hayleinbloom.org.uk or contact Bob Mims on 01736-757910. |

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:
|
||||||||||||||||||
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. |
