A school local to us, was celebrating their 75th Anniversary..
I had heard that they were celebrating by doing all sorts of events, like dressing up in 1940's clothing, an open day for former pupils to come and look around, and other things to get the kids involved with.

With the 'lines' carved out to represent each persons 'story' through the years between 1939 and 2014.
An off cut was used to add a spine..
The back all left scruffy..as would, a well used book of 75 years
If you would like a piece like this for your school, club or organisation,
A memorial or for a loved one, please contact me for details.
