This one really did have to be back on the streets at such an important time of year.

Thank you Axminster Banners Group for retrieving your poppy banner from its winter holiday ! It compliments all the lovely poppies around town. Thank you Graham Lloyd and Malcolm Symonds for taking a break from putting up Xmas lights for Light Up Axminster. 👏.

It’s been a great summer in which Axminster’s banners have generally given the town centre a visual lift while also telling the story of our town. However, there comes a time each autumn when they need to come down to protect them from the wind and rain that lies ahead. Thanks to our intrepid ladders team, they have now gone into hibernation ready for a check over and refresh as necessary.

We need to say particular thanks to Axminster Town Council for hosting us at the Old Courthouse and to Axminster Chamber of Commerce, who conceived the project and hold our funds. A new home will be needed following the planned sale of the Old Courthouse, so if anyone has some storage and (ideally) workshop space we would love to hear from you. And if you fancy volunteering to look after the banners you will be made very welcome.

Here’s to next year! 🥂
