Flower Show &

2008

Portishead in Bloom and Pegasus Homes

September 18th is the date for which Portishead in Bloom has been patiently waiting. That is when the results of the South West in Bloom judging will be announced at a special event in Plymouth. For the past few years the town has won a silver gilt medal awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society - maybe this year it will be one better. September is also the month when nominations are wanted for this year's John Daws Pegasus Cup. The cup is awarded, together with £100, to any person or organisation that has helped to raise the prestige of the town. It is run jointly by Portishead in Bloom and Pegasus Homes. Previous winners have been John and Edwina Tovey for their work with the Flower Show, and the Christmas Lights Committee. Nominations should be made by the end of September to the Folk Hall. More information can be obtained from Gordon Randall on 01275 848205.
