Website Updated!

There have been a lot of changes happening with ECHO and so the website unfortunately has become a little stale. We've got Bridge Hosting doing some website updates for us; within our limited budget.

You'll see the majority of information has moved or been removed; if you need some old material from the website then please get in touch and we'll see if we can help.

 

Local Notice Board

Echo managed to arrange for a local notice board to be put on Yas' shop wall (St Woolos Wine Lodge) at the top of Stow Hill. If you have a local community message you want displaying then call the Echo team or drop into the shop and ask for details.

 

Gardening Time

The growing season is upon us again. So start preparing your gardens for the summer and get planting. Whatever your garden, hanging basket or container can sustain its worth entering it into the competition.

Echo in Bloom its not just about the gardening but also the lively presentation evening that every entree is invited to.

The quality of entrants for this years Echo in Bloom has again been outstanding and reflects the amount of work and effort that people must have put into their gardens in preparation for this summers bloom.

The presentation evening was open to all entrants and was well attended and enjoyed by all. Special guests included the deputy Mayor and Mayoress, Roger and Mrs Jeavons, Rosemary Butler, AM for Newport West, and Stow Hill ward Councillors Miqdad Al-Nuaimi and Peter Davies, not forgetting of course the judges and Newport in Bloom representatives. The evening started with a welcoming glass of wine before the winners were announced and the prizes given out. The overall winner, Patricia Murray, being presented a prestigious silver claret jug by the deputy major. The evening then followed with an informal buffet and a chance to chat to the judges and exchange gardening tips.
