Poppies and Prizes!

Poppies and Prizes!

Just around the corner from our #hockley office at the Bramerton Church a terrific friendship group Hockley Social Group meet. The organisers are RRAVS. Yesterday afternoon Jo and Colin visited the group to help judge the winning poppy design during the craft meeting. This is how they got on.


Our 'Hockley Remembers' knitted poppies display is still brightening the Village shopping area today, on Armistice Day and as we approach Remembrance Sunday. The newly formed Hockley Social Group invited Jo and Colin from our Hockley branch to help judge their craft competition to make a poppy yesterday. The group is a really friendly place to visit and we have some leaflets about joining in the office. If you would like the details on how to meet new friends in the warm with a hot cup of tea then give us a call on 01702 207720 and we will put you in touch.
