Those of you who are avid readers will remember that in May and June I helped the residents of Stubbins get ready for the Britain in Bloom Competition. Although the results are still pending the residents of Stubbins decided to have a get together last Sunday to celebrate all their efforts to improve their environment.
Gloria Oates kindly offered her fantastic house and garden for the occasion and with a massive community effort and despite the weather the garden party (now indoors) was very well attended. There was music from local folk artists and a prize giving for those who had made a particular effort to brighten up the Village.
Cllr. Darryl Smith presented Best Front of House (with garden), Cllr. Anne Cheetham presented Best Front of House and I presented Best Shop Frontage which was won by Somewhere in Time Antiques.
I am delighted to see the real pride in their own community the residents of Stubbins have taken. Since the Residents’ Association first proposed entering the Britain in Bloom Competition the whole area has improved. Community action does work, just go and visit Stubbins!!
