Wreath arrangements
As last year, all wreaths will only be available between 10am to 4pm on Saturday (November 10), the day before the Remembrance Parade, at Bromsgrove Methodist Church.
The room is towards the back of the church by the car park on the Stratford Road side of the building.
Bromsgrove RBL chairman Jeff Evans said the pricing structure of wreaths was the same as last year but people were welcome to give more if they wished and the difference would be treated as a donation.
