Well done Oakham in Bloom Workers, Britain in Bloom, Silver Gilt

Teresa Thompson said Sadly no win for Oakham this time, but still a very creditable Silver Gilt medal. Our category, the Towns, was the most hard-fought and highly scored of the entire competition, so we mustn't feel too bad about it. Apparently the judges were most impressed with the work of our gardening volunteers and encourage us to do lots more of the same! A few areas need a slight rethink though, so the Committee will be working on those over the next months. 


I say well done to all the gardening volunteers and keep up the good work.

Teresa Thompson also says: Please remember the Big Replant on Sunday 8th October, beginning at 9.30am at the library and come if you can, equipped with trowels, ready for Action. The more hands we have, the sooner all will be done, so I hope to see you then.
