MEMBERS of Liphook In Bloom celebrated a night of award presentations at the Millennium Centre with this year's winners.

The floral competition attracted more than 59 entries in nine categories.

Children from Liphook Infant School and Liphook Junior School entertained a full house with their rendition of Beautiful World and Harvest Time Has Come after winning the trophies for Best School Grounds and Best Floral Beds.

President Terry Burns and founder member Paul Johnson guided the audience through the 17th year of Liphook In Bloom activities, including the upkeep of 100 hanging baskets around the centre of the parish, as well as the many individually designed flower beds.

Chairman Irene Ellis spoke about her year in office, after taking over from Philip Jordan in 2013, and thanked all volunteer Team members as well as sponsors for their continued support.

Each of the winners received a ceramic plate, designed and manufactured by Grayshott Pottery, commemorating their individual achievements, as well as a trophy for the main winners.
