Usk In Bloom

By now you will know how successful last year's efforts were with Usk winning its category in Wales in Bloom and receiving the Gold award.

There have been major changes in the committee. John Evans, who was Chairman/Secretary for many years, has re located and Max Rowles, who was treasurer, has also stepped down for simiiar reasons. The new Chairman is Jeff Michell who was involved with UIB some years ago.

2012 will be the 30th anniversary of UIB and plans are already at an advanced stage. The colour scheme will be Purples,Yellows and White and  we will be entering Wales in Bloom again. Throughout the year there will be fund raising events starting with the Auction at the Nags Head on March 14th. Other events will be advertised closer to the event. We are grateful to the local businesses and organisations who support us for their generosity.

We are a small committee with a limited band of dedicated helpers. We are always seeking new blood/volunteers. You do not have to attend meetings or have horticultural experience as training can be given. The involvement of some younger members of our community would be particularly appreciated.
