Spelthorne in Bloom Awards.

One of my early engagements as High Sheriff was to attend the launch of this year’s Spelthorne in Bloom competition back in April. So some seven months later, Suzanne and I were delighted to return for the results with Grace one of my Police Cadets.

The initial event had been hosted by Squires and the Awards evening by Notcutts and all 12 awards were sponsored by local businesses which is a testament to both the commitment of local businesses to the Community and the hard work the Committee put in to ensure the success of the event which is now in its 35 year. Cllr John Doran, Mayor of Spelthorne, local MP, Lincoln Jopp, Chief Executive of Spelthorne Borough Council, Daniel Mouawad and Inspector Matthew Walton, Borough Commander Surrey Police, were joined by many members of the local community avidly awaiting the results.

Notcutts kindly provided some refreshments and the evening was expertly compered by Chairman of Spelthorne in Bloom, Nick Wood-Dow DL.
