Can anyone top 20?

You will know that we are encouraging every family, and perhaps every resident, to create a poppy for our upcoming Armistice Event.

Well, Tattenhall Online has entered into the spirit of this and we include an image of 20 (yes 20) poppies that are almost complete – the black centres just need to be worked into each poppy. Well done to one very active member of our Webteam!

The plan is to create a cascade of poppies – you may all remember the installation entitled 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red' at The Tower of London in 2014, followed by the display at St George's Hall in Liverpool in 2015.

For maximum effect and impact, we ask that all poppies are red with a black centre BUT they can be made in different mediums: suggested ones could be knitted, crocheted, those made of material or card and in different sizes – our preference is that each poppy is as large as an adult 'fist'. They also each require a tail of thread or wool at the back for attachment (yes, we have a plan).

They can be delivered to any WI member or to our President, Sue Gamble at 14 Barnfield, off Covert Rise, 01829 772659

Sue has patterns for knitting or crocheting that can be sent by email or collected from her.

Keep sending us your images.
