Plan To Dress Cam and Dursley In Flags For King’s Coronation

A group of community organisations in Cam and Dursley have grouped together to encourage residents to dress up their homes in colourful bunting for the King’s Coronation in May.

GL11 Community Hub, along with with The Chantry Centre, Dursley Tabernacle Church, Dursley Methodist Church and St George’s Church are hosting drop in sessions, asking volunteers to pop in and make up ‘Bunting Kits’ which will be offered to local residents to take away, finish off at home and put up for the King's Coronation celebrations in May.

Kits will contain the fabric and printed instructions for making up lengths of bunting suitable for decorating homes and gardens. The kits will be free of charge and are aimed at all ages and abilities as can be sewn or glued in the final stages of make up.

As well as encouraging volunteers to attend the kit making sessions, GL11 Community Hub are asking for donations of fabric to fill the kits. If you can help with fabric - please drop off donations at GL11, Fairmead, Cam, GL11 5JS.

If you can help with making up bunting kits, then drop into one of the five Bunting Kit making sessions during March & April in Cam & Dursley:
