Filby in Bloom in 2009

Filby is competing in Anglia in Bloom. Judging will take place from 1.30 p.m. on Monday 6 July 2009.

Britain In Bloom 2009

Filby has been selected to represent the Anglia Region in the Britain in Bloom final in 2009. Judging for this competition will be from 10.00 a.m. on Wednesday 5 August 2009.

This website aims to show who we are, what we are doing as well as what we have achieved in the various "in Bloom" competitions.

We also have a sister site for Filby Village which covers topics not appropriate here.

Details of the awards won by the village can be found, you guessed it, by going to the Awards page and then by following the links to the various years.

There is still a lot of work to be done before this site is anyway near complete so you may find strange screens or links that have yet to be forged. Please visit regularly to see what has changed.

Should you prefer a larger text size than that displayed you can adjust the settings on your browser.

Using the menus you should be able to navigate the site using just about any web browser on any operating system.

Most of the pages are being rewritten to take advantage of the leaner code, flexibility and quicker download times offered by Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). However, pages should still display reasonably, if not correctly, even if you are using an older browser (like Netscape 4.x which does not understand some CSS commands) or Internet Explorer 5.x for Windows (which does not always render CSS correctly).

If the page display is a real mess perhaps it is time to consider upgrading to the latest version of browser or try a newer, alternative browser. Most of the better ones are free to download and are being actively supported.

If you experience any particular difficulty accessing any of these pages please send an email to the address below.

If you have any comments on the site or the efforts of the village please email to: pottingshed@filby-in-bloom.org.uk

Praise is always welcome but criticism can help our continued development.

In 2008 it was time to say farewell to our old signs. They had served the village well however Tom Green's new design is stunning.

However, that's never all there is to it:

When the Judges have visited and left to determine their verdict on our efforts, only the day after all the excitement, the work goes on.

Filby Community Orchard

Alright; so it's only 21 one year old maiden trees at the moment but it is a start. We still planted 50% more trees than we initially planned.

Phase Two 2009

30 trees have been bought and planted. The orchard area has greatly expanded and now features the 'wild life' garden.
