Proud 2B Here! Bovey Tracey Flag Project 2020


THIS year will hopefully be the seventh year of having flags in Bovey Tracey. Initially funded by Bovey Tracey Town Council and the Tracey Almhouse Trust, this exciting community project enables local businesses and community organisations to create their own unique, large-scale colourful flags that enhance the whole area and make it more attractive to residents, visitors and potential new businesses. There are potentially nearly 50 large-scale flags


going up this summer and we also hope to secure extra funding to allow many more community groups and businesses to produce their own smaller scale flags. This will allow for flags to be put up during major events in the town such as the Contemporary Craft Festival. A flag celebration month will be held over August to show-off the town's vibrancy. The flags each tell a story about the business or


organisation and reflect a sense of place. They are mainly designed and sewn by local people from a variety of local community groups. Flag design and making is supported by the wonderful local community artist Bridget Arnold. The flags are made of colourful balloon material (rip stop nylon) and sewn twice (straight and zig-zag stitches) with polyester thread, with Vilene reinforcement for the pole holder. Pole holders are made by a local blacksmith, and the ash and hazel poles have been coppiced from local woods. From 2018, Bovey Futures will be helping to secure


ongoing funding and sponsorship from local businesses to make it possible for the flags to keep flying as well as looking to expand the project to new places in our parish.
