Sydenham Community Station Takes 3rd Place At Ulster In Bloom Festival 2010

DSCN0269 The 2010 Ulster in bloom festival was held in August, once again Sydenham Station was entered in the contest for un manned Station Halts, last year Sydenham came 2nd place pushing Carnalee into 3rd place but they came back fighting this year with lots of  involvement from the community Schools, we are very pleased they gained 2nd place this year as our Community Garden has taken up the most time, we are looking forward to next year when we hope to make 1st prize for the Station and the Community Garden.  we thank all the companies who have all ready given us their support for the garden by way of Equipment Loan ,Plants,Grant aid and Sponsorship,we could not have managed to get as far as we have without their support.

The Station has come on well since being community adopted 2years ago by the Palmerston Residents Association for the whole Community of Sydenham, the intention is to turn the station into a visitor attraction and show visitors and everyday commuters who use the station that we care for where we live, and that the Community are proud of their station and surrounding area. We would hope to have a Christmas Tree at the station this year to help bring a festive and community atmosphere to the area.

Once More Thank you to everyone who has supported us this year and we look forward to the Trans Link,Tourist Board, Ulster in Bloom Festival 2011
