Garstang in Bloom

After Garstang Circle's August meeting Brothers and their ladies from across Province were entertained by guest speaker for the evening,  Mrs Norah Hoyles MBE of Garstang. Her talk was on the history of 'Garstang in Bloom', an organisation entirely of volunteers of which Mrs Hoyles was chairperson since its inception 28 years ago until last year.  The 'Garstang in Bloom' volunteers, including some Catenians, have worked tirelessly over the years in enhancing the town and cultivating small areas, hitherto unused land, for floral displays.  Their hard work has won them many gold awards both in national and international competitions over the years,
