TOWNSFOLK are being invited to help build “a new piece of history” this month.

Bordon library, at the Forest Centre, is holding a community art project on Friday, August 31, between 10am and 4pm, which will raise also raise funds for charity.

The day will see visitors team up with Bordon firm Bright Bricks to create a Lego mosaic. This will be displayed at the launch of the rebuilt Bordon and Oakhanger Sports Club (BOSC) in September.

The club, in Bolley Avenue, is taking bookings from the autumn following the building of its new pavilion as part of the town regeneration.

Described by developers as “a flagship two-storey pavilion”, the new building will be officially launched on Saturday, September 22, at a BOSC Fest event.

Bright Bricks is the UK’s only Lego-certified professional builder. Its Lego-brick portrait of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, made from 70,000 pieces, was assembled by visitors at Windsor Shopping Centre in May, ahead of the royal wedding.

The company has created a variety of bespoke Lego models, including life-size animals at Marwell Zoo, a 1.7-metre tall electric toothbrush, a gigantic working scale model of the Rolls Royce Dreamliner aero engine, a world-record-breaking 35-feet high Christmas tree, Star Wars characters, sports cars, and caravans.

Managing director Duncan Titmarsh is one of only 16 Lego-certified professionals in the world, and the only LCP in the UK. The company was established in 2010 and has built more than 1,200 models constructed from more than 60 million Lego bricks.

Individuals and families are welcome to work on the mosaic for a £4 donation. The art display will raise funds for Scotty’s Little Soldiers, a charity providing support for children whose parents have died while serving in the armed forces. The design of the mosaic will be kept under wraps until its unveiling at the BOSC launch.

“We wanted to mark the opening of the new BOSC pavilion with a poignant piece of art, and we are delighted to involve the local community and local firm Bright Bricks in its creation,” said Naomi Metcalfe, community manager at town developer the Whitehill and Bordon Regeneration Company. “We can’t wait to see it when it’s completed. It’s a great way to be involved in the launch of BOSC and part of its history. We’re hoping for a good turnout.”
