14th November 2011 - Britain In Bloom & South and South East In Bloom Competition Winners 2011

At the Britain in Bloom Annual Awards Ceremony on 25 September 2011 in St Andrews, Scotland, Rustington was presented with not only a Gold Award for its entry in the Competition, but also the overall Town Category Winner Award in this prestigious National Competition. Rustington was also announced as the runner-up in the Special Environmental Quality Award, narrowly missing out to Derry City in Ulster.

Comments from the Judges included:
“From the minute you enter this large, yet close-knit community, you know you are entering somewhere very special” “No stone is left unturned in the passion for providing something the area can be justifiably proud of” “Britain in Bloom judges often see the best of British horticulture, but nothing can compare with Rustington, a real gem and worthy Gold medal and Category Winner in the 2011 UK Finals”.

One of the Rustington Primary Schools again shone in the School Grounds Competition, namely Georgian Gardens, winning a Gold Award. What a great achievement! The Village has attained an even higher level of success than that accomplished in the 2010 Competition. The community really did pull together this year to ensure that all the boxes were ticked in the right places, and in recognition of this Certificates of Excellence were awarded to in excess of twenty different Groups, Clubs, Organisations and Individuals for their most important contributions towards the success of the Rustington entry. The Members of the Rustington-in-Bloom Committee, in partnership with the Parish Council, organised the 2011 Campaign and were most grateful for the support of the Arun District Council Cleansing and Parks Department, West Sussex County Council Highways Department, together with individual Officers from the District Council.

Special thanks and appreciation must go to Ferring Nurseries, without whose outstanding service, expertise and dedication, this remarkable success would, as has been the case in previous years, most certainly not have been attained.
