Bedworth Lions Club. Launched it's WW1 Tommy project by presenting the 6 foot tall statue to the town of Bedworth on the 13th September 2018.
The full-sized "Tommy" is from the WW1 commemorative series "There but Not There".

Tommy is available to visit schools, community venues & places of worship in Bedworth & surrounding area.
This is a call out to all schools in Bedworth, Bulkington, Exhall & surrounding villages.
We have purchased a full sized Tommy- part of the WW1 commemorative art project called There but Not There. Before we find Tommy a permanent home in Bedworth we are touring him around schools, places of worship & community centres. Venues can have Tommy for up to a month, he needs to be kept indoors. We believe having Tommy presents an excellent opportunity to engage with local adults & children about WW1 & the sacrifices local people made. We are running drawing, poetry & story writing competitions for the children in host venues. At the end of the tour we will use all the best pieces in a book titled The Bedworth Tommies. Proceeds from the book will go to Bedworth Armistice Parade & Royal British Legion. WE think the tour will take up to 2 years so there is plenty of time, however, allocation to specific dates is on a first come basis.

Tommy can be seen on our facebook photos page.
