Support for local Poppy Appeal as strong as ever in 2009
Chairman Geoff Gittins said " we would like to thank all who donated their time collecting
and the people who donated money, as £4,500 was collected over a few days.
Our thanks also go to Morrisons, whose support has once again
proved a success for The Royal British Legion".

The Royal British Legion provides financial, social and emotional support to millions who have served and are currently serving in the Armed Forces, and their dependants. Currently, nearly 10.5 million people are eligible for our support and we receive thousands of calls for help every year.
The Legion was founded in 1921 as a voice for the ex-service community and over 450,000 members continue to ensure that this voice does not go unheard. Although the needs of ex-service people have changed over the years, we are still there to safeguard their welfare, interests and memory. British service people are in action around the world every day of the year. They know that if they need our support - now or in the future - the Legion is always on active duty for them.
