Title: New WWI Entrance Sign in Memorial Park
Post by: admin on February 18, 2015, 05:07:56 PM: Delighted to get our new WWI Silhouette Artwork sign installed in the park today.

Will do a full update on the Friends of the Park site over the next few days but just want to say how pleased I am with it!

A very big thank you to Terry Wood, Terry's nephew Gary, Alan Burton, who was inspired by our idea and in-turn inspired David Birch, MD of Advanced Engineering Techniques in Sheffield to provide the laser-cutting and manufacturing free of charge. Thanks to Steve Abbott for helping to get permission to use the artwork and John Connors, Bernard Kelly, Patrick O'Herlihy and Rob in the park for held with the preparation and installation.

Only one more to do at the other end of the park now, because this is one of two made for us by AET!

Aren't they fantastic! Wonky dog bin has to go though!
