St Andrew’s Day Armistice Centenary
Armistice Centenary
Sunday 11 November, Manor Waste Please see page 35 for details of Church services in Wendover which will take place on the morning of Sunday 11 November. Wendover has its annual ceremony, including a two minute silence and wreath laying, on Remembrance Sunday at 2.30pm around the War Memorial on the Manor Waste, organised by the Royal British Legion. The parade is attended by personnel from RAF Halton who are busy elsewhere at the traditional time of 11:00am. All are welcome to attend. Wendover Free Church’s Wednesday morning Craft Group has taken the theme of “poppy” to its heart. Multi media work is on display in the window of Just, 11, High Street, HP22 6DU. Thank you to all the businesses who have decided to join the commemoration with a window display.

Monday 12 November
A big thank you to everyone who provided knitted and crocheted poppies to decorate Wendover’s War Memorial in November at the centenary of the Armistice of World War One. There are now enough poppies to fit on each spike and in garlands down the corners as shown, left. More will be scattered on the railings. This is a community effort so if you have crafted poppies you would like to add to this joint effort, please add them.
To find out how to vote, see a video and read more, visit the website: www. haltonwoodroadplaypark.co.uk before Monday 19 November.
