Hanging Basket Competition
As reported in our last edition, we are organising a Hanging Basket Competition this summer. We are grateful to Rollo Estates who have kindly donated £100 for prizes, and to Wivenhoe Eyecare who have generously offered a prize of a voucher for £150 for any of their products.
We are delighted that our renowned local plantswoman Beth Chatto has agreed to be one of the judges. She will be joined by Sarah Dean from Deans Nurseries and Wivenhoe Mayor Brian Sinclair. Judging will take place during the period leading up to D(decision)-Day on Sunday 18 July, with announcement of winners and prize giving at a party in the afternoon.
There is no entry fee, but an entry form, available from our web-site at www.wivsoc.org.uk or from Rollo Estates, Wivenhoe Eyecare, 1 Belle Vue Road, or Hamiltons Floral Designs at Vine Parade, must be completed. Forms must be returned by no later than Thursday 1 July to the same businesses or to Moira Collett, to whom any queries should be addressed.
Any enquires about this competition to Moira Collett, 8 Barr Close, Wivenhoe CO7 9RG Telephone 01206 826404 or email moiracollett@hotmail.com.
We hope that many residents and local businesses will be tempted to enter, since the main aim is to encourage a wonderful floral display throughout the town, to complement the good work being undertaken by the new Wivenhoe in Bloom Group.
