Ross in Bloom Events 2005
|
Ross-in-Bloom will be branching out this year on the
events side. As well as the usual Charities Market on "In
Bloom" Day, in July they will be holding events on Bank Holiday
Monday, 30th May and Bank Holiday Sunday, 28th August.
With support
from the Chamber of Commerce, they will be having two Visual
Arts Days, similar to the one put on last year. These will
be held at the Market House and around Ross.
Ross-in-Bloom
are looking for people to take up pitch space around the Market
House - to sell their goods, demonstrate their crafts or to
entertain the visitors. Pitch space is obviously at a premium
so early booking will be essential. At this stage, anyone
who wishes to take part is initially requested to contact
Mary Powell at the Heritage Centre or Jo Ashman at Halcyon
Daze. Telephone calls can be made on 01989 563056 before 8:30
pm Booking forms will be available shortly. Costs for pitches
will be £5 for the day. This must be prepaid to secure a pitch.
However, if anyone wishes to commit for both dates, the cost
will be £8 for both together. This will cover Ross-in-Bloom's
expenses for entertainers and the like. Bookings are open
to anyone , including charities. Traders will be encouraged
to set up outside their shops and cafes if they so wish.
Ross-in-Bloom
hope to make these days very successful for the town, the
first being an excellent lead into "In Bloom" for 2005.
In July
the usual Charity Market will be held on "in Bloom" Day. As
yet there is no date. However, once again Charities are asked
to make initial enquiries to book their space as soon as possible.
It is hoped to make the Heart of England Judges visit extra
special by encouraging everyone in the town - shoppers, traders,
etc., etc. - to dress up for the day in Historical Costume.
The years to be depicted are from stone age to the World War
II era.
Further
details will be given out shortly as well as the date for
a meeting where questions can be filed or suggestions and
offers for costumes are given. This will be held one evening
at the Phoenix Theatre.
The first
newsletter for the year is now available with details of all
competitions for this year, including the new Children's Competition.
This is available from Halcyon Daze, Lucas Motorcycles and
the Heritage Centre. Look
in the press and on posters for more details of all the above.
