Local History is important- and here is (Article5) a reminder of the duties Mary and I delivered in 2005.
Councillor Phil Bateman said “We had the pleasure of opening a new Hobbycraft store in Wednesfield.
It was Hobbycraft’s 22nd superstore – and we opened it at Bentley Bridge Retail Park in Wolverhampton!
For the first time ever in Wolverhampton, there was an opportunity to explore over 32,000 arts and crafts products for more than 250 creative activities, all under one roof!
Saturday 28th May. On that day, at 11am, Hobbycraft were also giving away over 1000 of art and craft hampers and vouchers in their Free Prize Draw.
The Hobbycraft communications team arranged The Right Worshipful The Mayor of Wolverhampton, Councillor Phil Bateman MBE and Hobbycraft’s Chief Executive, Warren Haskins, made the draw.
So twenty years on the Hobbycraft store is still trading and making a difference to our Local economy. Very much an item that helps create local Wednesfield History.
