2013 Pre-Christmas Coffee Morning Raises Almost £500
Richard Nunn, Chairman of Wimborne in Bloom presents the first prize in the Raffle of a Hamper to the winner the Mayor's daughter Alisha Hampton and her Grandmother Susie Gatrell
Wimborne in Bloom's Pre-Christmas Coffee Morning held on Saturday at the home Anthony and Christine Oliver raised £490.
"It is a splendid amount" said Richard Nunn, Chairman of Wimborne in Bloom after the event. "We had around 90 people attending. He thanked everyone for their support in coming and all those that helped and indeed supported the event with items for both the main raffle, the Christmas cake raffle and the bring and buy.
The total raised comes as we celebrate next week the 21st birthday of Wimborne in Bloom. The money raised will help fund next years 'In Bloom' campaign when inevitably costs to plant up the Town for both the summer and autumn together with watering throughout the summer will rise and are likely to cost in excess of £15,000.
Richard Nunn appealed for continued support. If you feel you can help please do get in touch with either the Chairman on 888793 or Secretary, John Hare-Brown on 889667 or just come along to the Annual Meeting in the Town Hall on Monday 27th January 2014 at 7.30pm to find out what is involved.
The small working committee and a large number of members have managed to ensure the town has looked good for the past 21 years. Please help us to ensure it continues that way for the year ahead.
