Volunteers from the Gedling Play Forum have been out today putting up banners and decorations to welcome the Tour of Britain riders to Gedling borough.
They started at the top of Colliery Way and will then move to Calverton.
“We wanted all children in Gedling to feel involved in this exciting event”, said Lesley Rhodes, who is one of the volunteers at the Forum.
“All of our playdays and events over the summer have given children and parents the opportunity to make banners. We are now putting them out where the riders will see them”
The Forum also provided kits of materials and templates to schools in the Borough who will be putting on their own display to celebrate the big race.
In Calverton, the Forum will also unveil the centrepiece of the display, a bicycle and rider that have been yarnbombed. After today this will go on display in Gedling Civic Centre in Arnold.
