News Letter June and July 2007
News
and Update
Thank
you to everyone who has planted, watered, dug holes, moved compost,
mulched beds, picked litter, removed graffiti and all the other jobs
that are too many to mention here. We have done all we can to put
Cricklade in a good position for an award in the South West and National
in Bloom competitions. Our challenge now will be to keep all the flower
displays looking good right up to mid August. Throughout July and Early
August we need volunteers to keep feeding, watering, weeding and dead
heading the displays. As soon as I know the date for the Nationals It
will be on the web site so keep checking.
Banners;
we have now taken delivery of three beautiful lamp post banners designed
by Christina Barratt, featuring a single Fritillary flower. They are to
be hung at the three entrances to the Town to let everyone know that
Cricklade is a
Britain
in Bloom
National Finalist. Christina has also designed two banners for the Wild
West Town Festival to hang from the lamp posts in the
High St
on the 17th
June.
Compost
day 23rd June
9.00am
at the Leisure Centre car park – can you spare an hour to help bag up compost?
Post
Cards are selling really well. They feature Cricklade in Bloom and
have been produced by John Barratt on sale in most of Cricklade
retailers, 35p each. All profits will go to Cricklade Bloomers to buy
autumn plants for the Town.
Keeping
the grass verges trimmed; If you would like to help out with mowing
using the new grass manager; please get in touch; it takes two people to
lift in and out of the trailer. Mowing the big roundabout and the
entrance verges takes around three hours, let Anita know if you have
some spare time.
New
planters; these should be arriving in the next two weeks; plants and
compost arriving around 18th May.
There
will be lots of nice easy planting jobs during the later half of May and
beginning of June; but we also need people who can dig holes for the
basket tree support anchors and for the new entrance banner poles. If
you can help call Anita 01793 751403.
