AWARDS of appreciation and recognition were given out at a special Launceston in Bloom presentation evening last week.

The annual ceremony was held in the White Hart Hotel, Launceston, on Monday, November 17.

Awards ranged from best estate agents to most outstanding floral display and were presented to 50 winners, including residents and organisations in the town.

Chair of Launceston in Bloom Margaret Wills said: "A wonderful event was had by all who attended, with many awards presented. There was fantastic music and good food and service by the White Hart Hotel."

The Launceston in Bloom committee is now looking forward to its 20th anniversary next year, with some special celebrations in the pipeline.
