Quota Coolum Beach was honoured to see one of our panels installed at the Coolum Beach Surf Club.
Lee, Coolum Beach Surf Club President, presented our President, Jude with a Plaque that was then hung beside our Field of Poppies.
This truly is a work of art, made up of thousands of crocheted and knitted poppies, generously donated by not only our local community, but from all over Australia.
Many of our donated poppies were created with family members in mind, including the fallen and those who have served and are still serving in the Australian Defence Force, to honour their services to Australia. Coolum Beach Surf Club, have added this artwork near their Honour Board and tributes to their lifesaving members. One poppy on display, was knitted by a grandmother of one of these members who is mentioned on the honour board. Lots of beautiful stories came out of this community project and we thank each and everyone who donated their craftwork to us. Also to our members, who sewed these panels together. We also thank Adam, General Manager of the Surf Club, for offering to have this artwork installed permanently for all to view.
Please go and have a look at it and if you made us a poppy, see if you can find one of yours.It is hung on the wall to the left of the sports bar on the north eastern wall.
Another one of our Poppy Panels was presented to the Mudjimba RSL and will be hung permanently in their clubhouse soon.
