Pilmeny Youth Centre - Poppy Stencil




\| Commemorative Glass Plaque \| Poppy Wreath \| Tree of Life \| Poppy Stencil \| Poppy Stencil Remembering the Leith Battalion PYC will stencil 216 red painted commemoration poppy designs throughout the Lorne/Pilrig/Leith walk ward areas. PYC, with the support of local groups will stencil red poppies featuring the name of each individual who perished at Gretna. One stencil per prominent local landmark e.g entrance to PYC, OOTB, Rosebank Cemetery, Pilrig St Pauls, local pubs, schools etc. Each poppy will also display the christian name of a Gretna casualty, local to that area. Example: Brothers James and Robert Sime of 40 Dalmeny Street:- a stencilled poppy bearing their names will be stencilled at this location. The poppies will be a temporary display, weather permitting, for the week or two, pre and post the remembrance service at Rosebank Cemetery, Leith in May 2015. Our hope is that our poppies will generate some local and city wide discussion into the reasoning of the displayed poppies and ask why the poppies have been placed. It's hoped local press and media can be used to convey the message, and generate local, and hopefully, national interest in the Gretna story.

Our Pilmeny Kick About Nights moved a step closer to reality with capital funding support awarded by the Gordon Faser Trust, The John Watson Trust and the Rank Foundation. The generous contributions from all three funders has allowed PYC to lay the "foundations" for our winter evening sports projects with the purchase of four portable floodlight rigs that will allow PYC to facilitate evenings sports activities - 4 a side football - Basketball - Unihock etc at the two recreational areas contained within Dalmeny Street Park. Two ideal sites, used by local children and young people, from dawn to dusk in the Spring and Summer evenings, but lie redundant as soon as the clocks change in October.
