TO celebrate all those who have given their time freely to a local community project, Rixton-with-Glazebrook volunteers have chosen to raise funds to have a tree sculpture carved in front of the recently transformed village hall.
Local chainsaw sculptor, Mike Burgess, has been commissioned to undertake the skillful task of sculpting two owls, a wise old owl and a baby owl and a provisional date of March/April 2022 has been booked.
Jill Eaves, volunteer and organiser said: “The wise old owl will represent all who have been associated with the hall since its initial building in 1972, almost 50 years ago. As a community building so many kind people have helped to manage and maintain the hall for all to enjoy and should be remembered. The baby owl will be a wonderful representation of the next generation to come, who will be using and looking after the hall in the future.”
To help with costs, a Go Fund Me page has been set up and you can help make your mark by simply donating to this Go Fund Me page as a contribution to the £650 cost of the tree sculpture.
