Christmas is coming...!

This year`s Christmas treeis looking good, all ready for tomorrow night`s switch on. Pudsey In Bloom were happy to help out once again this year and provide a home for the annual Christmas tree. Well done to Pudsey business group for getting it in place. Hope tomorrow night goes with a swing and is well supported.

A most welcome donation!!

Last week members of Pudsey in bloom were delighted to accept a cheque for £1000 presented to us by the Masons. The photograph below shows Margaret our chair along with some of our members accepting the cheque from the Worshipful Master of the Lodge of Benevolence. The lovely photo was taken by Peter Holdsworth, the Masons photographer. Afterwards we were honoured and pleased to be treated to a visit to the Masonic Hall on Church Lane, it was a super afternoon. The money will be used to provide attractive planters in the library square.

September Update

The  Asda sponsorship plaque is now in place in the leisure centre bed. The sleeper beds at lowtown are well on their way to being completed. We almost were an outright winner in the Asda green token collection, but in the end were beaten by Rodley Nature Reserve, none the less we bagged ourselves £50 for entering! We are now in possession of a bowser and are trying out a watering schedule to see how it will work, unfortunately we have been asked by LCC to water the trickiest areas, mainly the troughs at the main traffic lights in the town centre! Work still continues by our tidy Tuesday group, don`t forget our AGM in October, and I dare I say it will soon be time to plan for the autumn/spring planting of the troughs!

Article in the Winter Edition of the P&DCS.

There is an interesting write-up on the history of Job Ross and his tripe business in the latest edition of the Pudsey Civic Society magazine. What they have omitted to say is that without our Maureen, the tripe baths would no longer be with us!!

Helpers from Southroyd School

Recently we had some welcome helpers from Southroyd School holiday club. We all had a lovely morning and the children left just before the rain started. They were enthusiastic and fun to work with as well as being very well behaved. They worked with us in Sparrow Park and helped with weeding, deadheading and bulb planting. We hope to have their help again in the October half-term.

SouthRoyd School Gala

Thanks to everyone who helped raise £21.50 for our funds at the weekend by taking part in our `Name the gnome` competition. We are pleased to say that the gnome has now found a home! The winning name was Humphrey and he was taken home by a happy Southroyd pupil, whose grandma promised to help look after him :-)

Looking forward to......

......our first group outing to Newby Hall on 21st July, hope the sun keeps shining!
