The presentation to the prize winners of the annual Saundersfoot in Bloom competition took place at St. Brides Spa Hotel by kind permission of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Evans.

Chairman Keith Williams opened the proceedings and gave a warm welcome to everyone present. He thanked Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Evans for their hospitality and also thanked the chairman of Saundersfoot Community Council, Clr. Steve John, who presented the prizes, and the judges, Mrs. Joyce Lewis, and their president Duncan Hilling - the third judge was Keith himself.
