Royal British Legion

Remembrance week last November seems a long time ago now but last month I did not know how much we had collected.  I can now let you know that the total raised throughout the branch’s area was £3,066.20.  This is a little down on last year’s total but bearing in mind that we were unable to collect door-to-door this was a very satisfactory result and I think a lot better than many other branches.

I would like to thank everybody for their generosity but I must give a special thank you to our village shop who raised so much that I had to take a second tin down, the Admiral Hood, at Mosterton, who gave the proceeds of their meat raffle to the Poppy Appeal and the schools who as usual raised a wonderful amount.

I would like to wish you a happy New Year and hope that 2021 will be a better year for everybody.
