Put poppies in your windows for Stalbridge Remembers 2020. In Stalbridge this year the Royal British Legion Stalbridge branch is working together with St Marys Church and the Town Council to facilitate community involvement in a safe  act of remembrance. To comply with social distancing measures and rules on gatherings as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic  we are altering the traditional format which has followed for many years...

• There will not be a parade to and from the Church
• The overall number of people taking part in the act of remembrance at the war memorial will be need to be considerably lower in order to keep people safe and will be based on the invitation of representatives of local groups and organisations.
• ​​In place of attending a gathering as an act of remembrance we are asking residents to:
• Put pictures of big poppies in their house windows
• Make donations for traditional paper poppies. (Available at all of the locations POSTED BELOW).   
• Stand at their front doors at 11am on Sunday 8th November for the two minutes silence as safe act of remembrance with neighbours. 
• Support the RBL charity campaign by making online donations.

We hope to take some photographs to share with the community .
We appreciate your co-operation as we all look forward and tentatively begin to re-build our communities and re-unite friends and family in the wake of a global pandemic. We look to the example of those brave individuals who strove to re-build their lives which had been devastated by conflict and war.
These arrangements are subject to change at short notice in accordance with
covid 19 restrictions.
