Paint A Poppy<\/h3>\n

Ali Barnes, centre volunteer and member of the management committee has created sixty-five clay poppies, one for each name on the Brandon WW1 memorial.\u00a0 In fact each poppy has been inscribed with the name of one of the men.\u00a0 Ali will be holding a painting session at Brandon Heritage Centre on the 30th June and 1st July for anyone to pop in and “paint a poppy”.\u00a0 Paints and brushes will be supplied, so you just need to turn up!\u00a0 This is a free event, <\/strong><\/span>suitable for all ages and abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the start of a very exciting project.\u00a0 one that will culminate with the finished clay poppies being installed on the town’s cemetery gates in November to coincide with the nation’s commemoration of the Armistice Centenary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone wishing to reserve a particular named poppy from the list of WW1 soldiers being commemorated, please contact Ali Barnes (07595 323425 or tillerlass@gmail.com).\u00a0 Named poppies will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.\u00a0 The centre will\u00a0also be selling some small handmade clay poppy brooches and fridge magnets on the day, with proceeds going directly to the Heritage Centre.\u00a0 We may even have a ‘WW1 soldier’ in attendance on the Saturday, so you can ask him questions about Brandon during the war.
