In Bloom 2014

Are there any budding gardeners out there willing to take the lead on a project of this nature, or at least find out how we go about it for our area? It seems a nice thing to do and something everybody can get involved in.

 

Thanks

2014 NEW ENTRANTS WORKSHOP

20th February, Immingham Civic Centre

This is our major biennial event, which is open to all recently-new and potential new entrants and other interested parties.

There will be a short presentation ‘from the front’ about what Bloom is all about and how it brings benefits to entrants, but this is mainly a workshop event, where you will get the opportunity to talk to experienced entrants about their views on Bloom, meet senior judges and discuss what they hope to see ‘on the day’.

Weather permitting, there will be short tours of a ‘Bloom route’, done in small groups led by senior judges, giving you the chance to see through the judges eyes. Bring suitable clothing!!! It is February, after all.

If the weather is genuinely poor then the session with the judges will take place inside as a round table workshop instead.

There will also be an update on the National Bloom developments, with new initiatives such as the BID category explained in more detail. Final details will also be available about National Themes for 2014, and advice on how you can get involved.

There will, of course, be opportunities to meet with other ‘Bloomers’ and to talk to some of our important sponsors, who will bring with them some of the products that are so helpful in brightening up our communities

The cost is £6 per person, to cover the cost of refreshments and a light lunch. To ensure your place/s, please return your completed reservation form (see attached or download a form from the website) http://www.eastmidlandsinbloom.co.uk/  by Thursday February 6th to EMiB Secretary Irene Bates

ePetition For Faster Broadband In Rural Areas

Sam was wondering since our broadband is so slow, if any of the village would be interested in signing the e-petition mentioned in this email below for faster broadband in rural areas?

In April 2013 Hollingbourne Parish Council initiated an e-petition to provide better broadband in rural areas including the village of Hollingbourne in Kent where download speeds are often less than .5MB.

 

For further details about the e-petition please go to  http://www.hollingbournepc.kentparishes.gov.uk/default.cfm?pid=diary&eventid=11384

 

If you would like to support the e-petition and have not done so already please go  http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/48922

 

 

Parish Meeting Agenda Items Request For End Of January Meeting

We agreed at the last Parish Meeting to hold a meeting around the end of January. Paul is hoping to do this on Monday 27th Jan (subject to the church being available). If anybody has any agenda items can they pass them to Paul or Sam ASAP. Paul would prefer agenda items before the meeting rather than having them as AOB.

 

Many thanks

 

Paul
