Sherborne In Bloom!

At the ‘South West In Bloom’ presentation event in Plymouth yesterday, Sherborne came away with another gold award for our Sherborne In Bloom project!

We also won the Clem Preece Memorial Cup which was awarded to Gryphon School ‘for outstanding school effort supporting Britain In Bloom criteria’.

And we won the Michael McGahey Trophy ‘for exceptional community effort’.

We were also awarded a certificate in the Neighbourhood Awards category for the planting scheme at Fosters Furlong.

Pictured here (l to r) are Sally Westlotorn, Louise Burks, Caroline Rowland and Valerie Todd who attended the event, holding the awards that Sherborne won.

Thanks and congratulations to all the hard-working gardeners of Sherborne and especially to the pupils and teachers of Gryphon School whose contribution received such deserved recognition! Thanks also to the Sherborne Bradford Abbas Camera Club who photographed the entire project.

Now, let’s get started on 2009
