Well done everyone involved in submitting this bid and many, many thanks to SPHN!!

... and the Winner Is –
Dear All
Remember the Sunflower Competition that we kicked off at the Oban Charities Day in June 2010?
Well, the winner has now been officially identified based on photographic evidence and we can name him as
a young boy from the Oban-Glencruitten area.
His was sunflower no. 8, and he will be given a cash prize of £10 shortly. Well done, Conor, congratulations!
Here's the link to a clip showing the winning sunflower as it looked on sunny 8th October 2010 (apologies for your having to view it sideways – I wasn't thinking when I recorded this with my wee digital camera):

Competition was very stiff, with a few contenders doing well later on, which you can see here:

Sadly, some people have no respect for plants and several of the participating flowers were decapitated. Also, the recent storms blew rather too strongly for the thin poles helping the sunflowers to stand. So things look a bit bedraggled just now. Some flowers are still in bloom, however.
More news soon, hopefully! Cheerioh for now – enjoy the gorgeous autumn colours.
