A group of ladies from Churchill Retirement Living\u2019s Stokes Lodge<\/a> in Camberley have been busy knitting remembrance poppies for a local church.<\/p>

The ladies have knitted over 1,000 poppies for an exhibition being held at All Saints\u2019 Church in Lightwater to mark the 100th<\/sup> anniversary of the end of the First World War next year. It takes inspiration from the major art installation Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red at the Tower of London, which filled the Tower\u2019s famous moat in 2014, with each poppy representing a British military fatality during the war.<\/p>

Several Owners at Stokes Lodge had already formed a weekly Knit and Natter Group where they meet in the Owners\u2019 Lounge to chat and knit woolly supplies, when they decided to take on the challenge to create hundreds of poppies for the display, which will go on show at the church next year ahead of the centenary.<\/p>

Linda Selway, Lodge Manager at Stokes Lodge, said: \u201cThe ladies find it so rewarding to come together and knit, and have put so much time and effort into this project. They have done a fantastic job contributing to make this a very special reminder to all of the great sacrifices made by those who lost their lives during the war.\u201d<\/p>

Stokes Lodge comprises 61 one and two bedroom apartments in the heart of Camberley. The apartments boast spacious rooms throughout and are an ideal combination of design and functionality. Owners can also enjoy the added luxury of a stunning roof terrace to enjoy in the summer months. The fully fitted, stylish kitchens include a built in fridge and freezer, hob and an oven, which is located at an easy-reach height.<\/p>

All of the properties benefit from illuminated light switches for added convenience. Owners also enjoy ultimate peace of mind from a fitted camera entry system, for the highest level of security, and a 24 hour emergency call system.<\/p>

With less to worry about, Owners will have more time to do the things they enjoy, including taking advantage of the host of other benefits which are on offer, including having family or friends to stay in the development\u2019s well-appointed Guest Suite, enjoying a chat with neighbours, or attending one of the many events, in the Owners\u2019 Lounge.<\/p>
