Make a poppy appeal:

Find out how you can make a poppy for Saturday’s WWI poppy field

Joanna Cooke from the Lord Louis Library in Newport has been in touch with an appeal for OnTheWight readers.

This coming Saturday (2nd August) the library has a WWI Commemoration day taking place and in the run up to the event they’re asking Islanders to make a (tissue paper) poppy.

They’re hoping to have enough poppies to make a poppy field to display on Saturday, so if you’re in Newport, why not pop into the library and make a poppy or two.

Joanna says they only take a minute or so to make, but they look really good.
