Bring Back Welford Postman Pat

Welford's Postman Pat was a much loved local landmark on the roadside of the High Street A5199 until he sadly rotted away and collapsed in early 2019.  Carved out of an old tree, he and his cat Jess had been part of Welford since the 1990s.
The local community mourned his passing, and following an appeal in the Welford Bugle a small group of residents  formed a group to bring him back.  The group wants to commission a new Postman Pat wooden carving to match the original and erect it in the same place on the roadside verge just up the hill from the pocket park.  
The new carving will be designed to last, carved from hard wood and mounted on a concrete base.
The group would be very grateful for all your support and contributions ,however large or small, towards meeting the estimated £1,200 cost of making and installing the new carving.
