Along with Mojo Pulse Team mates:

Te Huinga Reo Selby-‐Rickit Hannah Poff Whitney Souness Organiser Jenny Roper and Wairoa Museum’s Jill Grooby count the masses of poppies kindly knitted Jessica Bourke and crocheted by people in the Wairoa community.

Call to enlist WAIROA NETBALL COURTS and help Standring Park, Black Street, Wairoa WW1 tribute AN ocean of red could describe the mountain of knitted and crocheted poppies building up at the Wairoa Museum. The red mountain is for the 5000 poppies st project displaying a community tribute of respect and remembrance of those who fought during Saturday 31 January – 2015 World War 1. Local woman and project organiser Jenny Roper introduced the initiative to Wairoa in October last year as part of a nationwide project begun in New Zealand in 2013 by Auckland woman Lisa Wallace. 10am – 3pm Mrs Roper urges the community to keep knitting poppies as they want to collect as many as possible for the ANZAC day memorial in April. “The support we have had so far has been Get the whole family involved! overwhelming, we are delighted and so grateful to the women of Wairoa who have dedicated their time to make these wonderful poppies,” she said. Skill sessions – Fun games – Tournament Almost 1000 poppies have been collected and with only a few months to go Mrs Roper with the MOJO Pulse players encourages people to keep knitting to help them exceed their goals for a beautiful, sentimental display. The poppies will be attached to hessian and placed on boards in order to be displayed at the War Memorial Hall on Anzac day for people to visit and pay their respects. In the run-up to the Anzac Day memorial and events the poppies will be displayed in the Wairoa Museum in a World War 1 exhibition from the end of March. For patterns and information on how to make the poppies visit www.5000poppies.wordpress.com Patterns are also available at The Wairoa www.hawkesbaynetball.co.nz Museum.
