THE hard work of green-fingered volunteers has won them a place at the Britain in Bloom awards.

Fordham in Bloom impressed judges at the Anglia in Bloom competition, who then put the team through to the national stage.

Judges visit each nominee to award them either a gold, silver or bronze status.

Chairman Barbara Jones said: “The fact we were nominated gave us all a lot of encouragement. “The village is very pleased.

“We are a bit nervous about it.”

Judges will visit the village on August 4 and the results will revealed in November
