22 February 2015. On 7th March Hayle in Bloom is running our third event in the Hayle Blooming Bee Friendly programme, with a little money we have raised from the Cornwall Community Foundaiton, building on our successful community day in June last year and our Pollinator Masterclass before Christmas. As a result of inviting the local schools once again, and offering to run assemblies on bees and pollinators, Manda Brookman will be running two Bee Assemblies in Penpol School the week before, culminating in helping judge a school Bee Costume Competition, which is wonderful. The school is hugely excited about taking part, and we do hope we can do everything we can to help it support food, health, pollinators and local environmental awareness in the curriculum!

Judges Steve Clampin and Rob Harkness are shown here at Paradise Park with Hayle Mayor Graham Coad, Hayle in Bloom chair Anne-Marie Rance, gardener Mike Kemp and flanked by Alison Hales and Nick Reynolds of Paradise Park. Many of the HIB volunteers joined the judges for the closing event sponsored by Paradise Park.
Volunteers from Hayle in Bloom (HIB) have worked throughout the year to keep the green spaces in the town tidy and chairman Anne-Marie Rance, said they hoped they had done enough to get a gold award.
"The town looked absolutely fabulous thanks to our wonderful volunteers," she said. "They've had to work extremely hard this year to maintain a standard because of all the cutbacks at Cornwall Council. We've also had honorary members who helped out at our working parties."
