Abstract: Sum up your story in no more than 2 sentences that explain
WHO, WHAT, WHY, WHEN AND WHERE.
Over 100 locals of Roadfield village have pledged an hour of their time
to Remember WW1 to volunteer in their community in memory of World
War One. The village have planned a six-month calendar of events to
commemorate the centenary, including a recent bake sale that raised
£120 for the Poppy Appeal.
Paragraph 1: Detail: Explain HOW, notable points of your story and what has been
accomplished.
Organised by Head teacher Jane Smith, all pupils of Roadfield School have pledged
to help out, making a commemorative mural that will be on display in the Village Hall
until the end of the year. The parish council have also arranged to place a large
poppy on every lamp post in the village to represent locals who served during WW1.
Paragraph 2: External interest: insert comments/quotes, third party involvement or a
call for help if you are planning something.
David Jones MP of Roadfield has commented: “What a fantastic way to engage
young and old in the centenary. Remember WW1 offers a proactive way to make
sure that we never forget and Roadfield have answered the call.”
Paragraph 3: Conclude: thank you for reading and please contact us for more
information
On Saturday 20/12/14 1st Roadfield Scout Group will be presenting their work on
WW1 in the village with an exhibition at the scout hut. Until then you can follow
Roadfield’s activities on Twitter and Instagram @RoadfieldRemembers
