In other news, as you can see on this page, the Town has some awesome events happening over the next couple of months. I’m really excited for the Vic Park Summer Street Party in November which will be a great day out for everyone to welcome in summer. I’d also like to mention after the complete success of last year, the Town’s Field of Remembrance is returning for Remembrance Day this year. With support from the Vic Park Men’s Shed, Memorial Gardens will be transformed into a Field of Remembrance with a ceremonial planting of around 2,500 artificial poppies and 50 white crosses. Members of our community are invited to attend the planting from 10.15am followed by a moment of silence at 11am.
