| Celebration
of Leeds ‘In Bloom’ groups. |
Thursday 23rd October was a night to remember.
Seven of our members attended an evening do at Leeds Civic
Hall for all the ‘In Bloom’ groups throughout
Leeds. We were all formally greeted by the Lord Mayor
of Leeds. This was followed by a slide show put together
and expertly narrated by Richard Gill of all the In Bloom
group’s entries and results in this year’s
competition. There was even a picture of one of our welcome
stone beds planted up in all its glory! We were kept entertained
by the famous Joe Maiden from Radio Leeds. He was a very
witty and entertaining speaker and gave us many amusing
tips on how to fool the judges on In Bloom inspection
day.
Listen out for his broadcasts on Radio Leeds as Garforth
In Bloom might be getting a mention!

SPRING BULB PLANTING
The wet & drizzly start to the bulb planting Sunday soon
transformed into a perfect day for the job. The sun even came
out for a while!
About 30 people turned up at the Welfare Hall and were allocated
to one of the three welcome stone areas to plant a couple
of bagfuls for each site of ‘Woodland Mixture’
bulbs kindly supplied by the council.
After a couple of hours work all the bulbs were planted and
everyone made their way back to base. Here bacon and sausage
sandwiches along with tea and coffee were the order of the
day as a reward for all our hard work. Many thanks to Garforth
Lions for supplying and serving up the grub.
Everyone agreed it was a highly successful event. Thanks to
everyone who turned up and for those who put so much effort
into organising the event.
We look forward to seeing as many people as possible, spades
in hands, on Sunday 9th November @ 10 am for the planting
up of the Townend plots.

on
Sunday 19th October 2008 meeting at the Welfare Hall Garforth
at 10am.
All are welcome to attend for about one hour of bulb planting
