Hayle's Britain Bloom group was formed in January 2000 following a public meeting by then the Mayor of Hayle Mr David Barrett with the aim of entering the Britain in bloom competitions and to beautify our town of Hayle here in Cornwall.
Hayle In Bloom received strong support from Hayle Town Council at this time , especially the Town Clerk at the time Viviane Parsons. However the first meeting wasn't held until the following year in 2001 when the 'Working Party' was set up and our first entry was judged on the 26th of July 2001 where we successfully gained a highly commended award .
Following a meeting held on February 2002 , Mr Richard Selby - Boothroyed took over chairmanship from Mr Don Mcgeorge who had agreed at the outset to chair the meetings until a committee was formed ( this was very much appreciated by the working party. ) We were also very grateful to the Hayle Town Trust who agreed to be caretakers of any monies raised until we set up our own bank account for Hayle In Bloom. We are a non profit organisation solely reliant on donations and fund raising events to provide flowers , trees and plants to enhance the Towns appearance and to help nature thrive as much as possible . Hayle In Bloom has continued with volunteers up to this present day to keep our town looking fantastic and to continue to maintain high standards.
Each year since 2000 we have entered the Britain In Bloom competition and have won numerous awards for locations around the Town, along King George V Memorial walk and Penpol Terrace the role of honour can be found displaying the groups successes.
