Fundraiser to make West Wemyss Blooming Beautiful!

Last year for the first time, after a lot of really hard work from residents/village volunteers, West Wemyss was awarded a Silver by Beautiful Fife.

 Interestingly, the aims of Beautiful Fife are:

• to protect, preserve and enhance the environment of Fife's towns, villages and countryside by promoting the prevention and control of litter and improving the quality of the local environmental in general for the residents and visitors alike.
• to improve the public's understanding of the natural environment and the role we can play in it's future.
• to improve the environment throughout Fife by promoting, encouraging and assisting in the raising of standards of public floral and horticultural displays.
• 
  to increase community spirit and 
  encourage public participation to make Fife a great place to work, live and visit.
  
  
  In other words, it's not all about public floral and horticultural displays -but they play their part, as does voluntary participation - Local children, for instance, put a lot of effort into the sensory garden created in the middle of the village.
  
  
  So last year, West Wemyss started to look increasingly pretty - and the floral enhancement group in the village are keen to make an even bigger impression this year (especially as we are hoping for some decent summer weather this year!)
  
  
  So they're holding a fundraising Race Night in Coaltown of Wemyss Village Hall on Saturday 11th May. Running from 7.30pm - 11.30pm, tickets are £2 each and the monies raised will contribute to more lovely blooms in the village of West Wemyss and also support The Vintage Gala.
  
  
  If you are interested in coming along to support everyone's efforts, you are welcome to contact The West Wemyss Walk Inn on 01592 652001, where there will be tickets available.
