Remembrance Day Parade and Poppy Display
The annual Remembrance Day Parade done in partnership with the Ollerton Royal British Legion Branch is taking place on Sunday 8th November.
The parade will be leaving from the Town Hall at 10:15 so if you are taking part please be on Sherwood Drive for 10:00.
If you or your organisation has arranged a poppy wreath through the Royal British Legion please collect this from the Town Hall before 2pm on Friday 6th November.
The services of a professional traffic management company have been engaged to deal with the road closure with the costs being met by Ollerton & Boughton Town Council. We are still looking for volunteers to act as marshals at road junctions along the route from Sherwood Drive, Forest Road to the War Memorial Gardens in Old Ollerton.
If you wish to volunteer you must be over 18 years of age and be available from 9.30am to 11am on Sunday 8th November. A short briefing session will take place at 9.30am on the day of the event at Ollerton Town Hall.
If you are able to volunteer to support the parade please contact Ollerton Town Hall for more information.
Poppy Display
There is still time to let us know if you would like to add to the community display of poppies outside your home, school or business. Please let us know if you are taking part so that we can include them in our commemorative publicity.
If you are a community group not already working with the “Ollerton Together” networking group and would like more information please contact Ollerton Town Hall.
