Canford Heath Remembers 2021
Well Done! You Have Raised £732 for the RBL
The Poppies were put up on Adastral Road, Culliford Crescent and part of Canford Heath Road; we hope you enjoyed looking at them with all the messages of those that are remembered. Thank you to everyone who sponsored a lamp post Poppy and to all our volunteers who put them up on Sunday 24th October
The display of lamp post poppies along Adastral Road, Culliford Crescent and part of Canford Heath Road created a wonderful sight for many including families walking to school, drivers on their way to work, and people travelling through on buses.
There are some photos at the bottom of this page just to give a flavour of the event.
The red poppy is a symbol of both Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future.
We asked for a £5 donation for each Poppy with a message. We are pleased to say that your donations raised £732 which has been passed to The Royal British Legion
ARCH would like to thank everyone who either sponsored a lamp post poppy or bought a knitted or crocheted poppy
The display of knitted and crocheted poppies has been made by local residents and groups such as the Knit and Natter Group based in Lounge One café together with hand painted artwork by members of CHAS (The Canford Heath Art Society).
From Monday 25th October 2021 – until Saturday 13th November you could follow the Fighter Pilots Trail of pictures around the Heath as part of Canford Heath remembers 2021
The idea was to follow the trail and learn about the history of the fighter Pilots that some of the roads on Canford heath are named after such as Group Captain Douglas Bader
Every completed entry was given a Certificate of Completion.
The Mayor of Poole, Counsellor Julie Bagwell visited the library on Thursday 29th October to view the range of poppies made by the community and also visited examples of the lamppost poppies and the fighter pilot trail, deeming the whole project a great success.
