History of Witney Blankets
Keith Crawford regularly gives his "History of Witney Blankets" talk to Primary School children.
Keith gave his "History of Witney Blankets" talk to Years 5 and 6 at Witney County Primary School on Thursday. They have since put the attached picture in their weekly online school newletter, so I have got the school's permission for us to put it on the Club website as an example of a club activity.
The Club gave them 60 copies of our booklet "The Story of Witney Blankets" for the children to have as a reminder of the importance of blankets in Witney's history.
