Massive Thank You
As you know we’ve been asking for donations of knitted and crocheted poppies so that we can create a new more environmentally friendly display of poppies for the lampposts this year. Thank you to those of you who have got out your knitting needles and crocheting hooks your help is much appreciated. Thanks also to Donna at Wizard Awards who donated all of the ribbons for the garlands your generosity is very much appreciated.
However the biggest thank you goes to the ladies from the Pins Hooks and Pom Poms, I cannot overstate how much graft they have put in to this project. They really are incredible troopers even taking their hooks on holiday and buying more wool in Spain!!! There are sufficient garlands for all of the 121 columns that we have permission to use, each garland has 20 odd poppies and a dozen leaves, I’ll let you do the sums on how many they’ve made!!! Their community spirit is outstanding and they should be incredibly proud of what they’ve achieved
Donations are welcomed to the British Legion https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/get…/ways-to-give/donate
Look out for the team putting up the garlands in the coming days.
The early proforma garland!
