Fitting Time to close this blog :-)

GOLD has finally been achieved for Pudsey, and I feel that this is now the right time for me to stop posting to this blog. Having been involved with Pudsey In Bloom since it first started back in 2003, and seen its development and the continued commitment of its members and wonderful supporters, now, I feel is the time to concentrate on posting news to our website and Face book page.
So, Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to follow our news via this blog, in future please go to:

The group will continue to keep everyone updated , but I will no longer post here to the blog.
Goodbye and Thank you!

It`s a GOLD!!

I have been involved with Pudsey in Bloom for almost 20 years and I am so pleased to say that this year we have finally been awarded the coveted GOLD award in the annual Yorkshire In Bloom competition. I know I share the thoughts of the rest of the group along with many Pudsey folk in saying this is well deserved and a true recognition of all the hard work our members contribute in making Pudsey interesting and attractive. Many thanks to all our sponsors, friends and supporters!

Update

A few pictures taken on our rounds this evening using the bowser. Pudsey was looking bright and colourful, the troughs are coming along nicely with their summer plants, the wild flower area in the park entrance looks and smells great, and the new planters along lidget hill and next to the display boards have transformed this area !

 

Pudsey Carnival

Looking forward to seeing lots of people at our annual Pudsey Carnival this weekend. The carnival goes back many years and we need to keep this tradition going!!
Look out for some of the Pudsey In Bloomers joining the parade!

And Thanks to that fantastic support, we raised over......

£284!!

Thanks again to Jill and Maureen who did a fantastic job organising the morning!
Everyone helped to raise a fantastic amount of money, and it was so great to see so many people in Pudsey House! It was a real team effort!

 



Thanks for the Fantastic Support!

What a great morning we had today raising funds with our coffee, cake , tombola, reiki, bric-a-brac and other activities, everyone gave their all and the event was expertly planned by Jill and Maureen. It was so lovely to have such a fantastic turn out for the event.

By Way of a catch up!

Happy New Year to all our readers, better late than never! I have fallen behind a bit with updating our blog, but am pleased to announce that now we also have a fantastic new website, so there are two places where you can follow us and catch up on our news. I have to say that the website will be more up to date, thanks to the magnificent efforts of our chair lady Margaret supported by Barbara our vice chair.
Can`t believe it`s February already! Our tidy Tuesdays will be starting up in earnest from March, although they have been `ticking over` quite nicely over the last few months even though some have been social gatherings to keep everyone in touch.
Our `Friends` are growing and it`s lovely that we have so much support in the local community, please download our Friends form if you would like to give your support.
Our monthly meetings started in January, and will be the last Thursday of the month through to October at the leisure centre.
Our next fund raising event will be on Saturday 25th February when we are holding a coffee morning at Pudsey House, please come and support us if you can.

In the meantime, Happy Gardening to you all, more news to follow, and please check out our brand new website for lots of lovely photos, updates and news. http://www.pudseyinbloom.co.uk

Bye for Now!
