We entered a float for the first time in this years gala - and won! The prize money (£30) is being spent on plants to fill the empty bed in the park.

Well we had every kind of weather (bar snow) for our summer judging session on Wednesday 7th July. We drove most of the route due to the torential rain, but this did not hamper things, if anything we were able to show more of the village off! Results are out in September so fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Our first visit from the judges - Sue Wood and Jane McCaulay took place on Thursday 15th April. We had a good walk around the village and showed them lots of features including Burnmoor Crescent, the park, swimming pool, village centre, millenium gardens and the community centre.

As the summer session lasts a lot longer we should be able to cram in a lot more!

 

Wishing everyone involved in Ingleton In Bloom a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

Its good to see the group going from strength to strength I am sure 2010 will be no exception.

Many thanks for improving the village and surounding area keep up the good work.

We had a good day out around Ingleton today showing the judges - Peter Oddy and Stuart Elwin more of the village. We first visited Ingleton Middle School and presented the book token prizes to the winners of our design a logo competition. The winners were; 1st Charlotte Taylor, 2nd Charlie Percival, 3rd Molly Beresford and 4th Georginga Brown.

These logos can be viewed on our Ingleton in bloom website, and the winning design will endorse everything we do from now on.

We toured the village before heading up to the Station Inn at Ribblehead where we met Colin Newlands The Senior Reserve Manager who very kindly took us for a tour of Scar Close, a fantastic National Nature Reserve.

Both judges agreed they would like to make return visits and spend some time on the reserve having a more detailed look around.

We ended the day with a much appreciated brew at the Station Inn, thanks to Jo and Alan for their hospitality. Hopefully next year we can encourage them to put the pub in to the competition too.

We are expecting the judges to be here today for our summer judging session. Looking forward to a good morning.

 

***********Jumble sale raised £466 so that should go a long way******************

 

The judges will be returning very soon now to look at our villages summer display. We shall be visiting the middle school to present the prizes following the poster competition we ran where the children have created some superb logos for our group. The winning poster will be used throughout our efforts now, it will be our branding!

 

Be ready! Tuesday 14th July - lets bloom our socks off.

These are now in place, or at least the ones we have.Our project this year is to increase the number, so lets hope for a profitable jumble sale so we can buy lots more!

I am pleased to report that the new flower bed at the community centre has been planted this week. The bed is the responsibility of Ingleton Middle School, i hope they get lots of use from it - and enjoyment! 

Picture attached is a 'before', Will get an 'after' picture soon!

 

Have attached a photo when the bed was first planted, its now established and looking great!

Six lamp post planters have been bought this year by the Parish council which should be a good improvement to the village.These have now been planted up with summer bedding plants and installed. Hope they give a good display!

Our fund raising jumble sale will be held at Ingleton Community Centre at 2.00pm on Saturday 11th July.

All proceeds will be spent on planters and plants for the village. This year we are concentrating on improving the benches - theres over 20! and accompanying most with one or two planters which will have their displays changed according to the seasons.
