The town centre has once again been resplendent in flags throughout April and May, thanks to the efforts of volunteers, the Heritage Society and Clement’s hardware shop.

Wymondham Heritage Society & Museum raised the funds to replace the town’s St George’s flags, which had become worn and shabby. These were put up by the Town Team group of volunteers in time for the English patron saint’s day this April.

Lead flag team volunteer Chris Grant also thanked local businesses for their support:

“George from Clement’s got us a great price on 40x broom handles that we’ve used as new poles. We got our elastic bands from Reeves.” Chris has recently been passed the Team lead from Doug Hodges, who for many years has worked tirelessly to organise the putting up and down of Flags and the Christmas lights throughout the town.

But the group won’t be resting long, with the St George’s flags being swapped for Union Jacks in time for VE Day commemorations in May.
