Can you help? 🧶
We are planning to create a poppy field at both churches for Remembrance Sunday this year, these will be along the roadside on the banks around the notice boards,and at St Mary’s hopefully all the way up to the church. This will take a big community effort, we plan to contact local clubs and organisations to help.The knitted or crochet poppies will be fixed to small garden canes later in the year. If you have relatives, friends or neighbours who can knit or crochet please ask them to help. We need a huge amount of poppies so that’s why we are starting early! We have patterns and wool available from both churches and patterns by email from the church office.
Can’t knit or crochet? You can still be part of the project by sponsoring a ball of wool. The current cost is £2.20 per ball, you can make a donation through BACS Ref ‘Poppy wool’ or in cash to the office or to our wardens. If you have any spare red double knit wool do pass it to us we would gladly use it! 🧶
