Ross in Bloom - red, white and blue - the Jubilee theme Ross Royal British Legion (RRBL) works very closely with Ross-in-Bloom (RiB) and our Branch Secretary Margaret Jones is on the RiB committee. Last year, the two ventures joined forces to work to celebrate the British Legion 90th anniversary with colours, events, etc especially on Heart of England in Bloom (HEinB) Judging Day in July. RRBL and RiB are also joining forces to celebrate the Jubilee this year. Because RiB works closely with the community, it gained extra points with HEinB which is why it gained Gold for the town last year. Ross-in-Bloom and Ross Royal British Legion now join forces on this web page to demonstrate a beautiful floral relationship.
This photo shows the judges, Margaret Lucas Chairman of RiB with Gordon Lucas (Ross British Legion committee member), Lyn Tomlinson Vice Chairman, and the Carnival princess down by the riverside. It also shows that everyone wore poppies on that day (despite it being July) to show allegiance with the Legion 90th anniversary. Also shown are the bright flame colours used - one bed one colour is usually the way RiB does things..
