Poppy Appeal 2009

Tuesday 13th October


Well I'm no Hayley Westonra but I did have the honour of chairing the annual meeting to agree the programme for the Remembrance Tide.

David Walmesley retired as the official organiser after 10 years and Mike Arnold was appointed to the post. Good to see Mike getting stuck in again and I'm sure with his flair for marketing the appeal will build on the previous successes. The profile that our Armed Services are getting as a result of the sad casualties being sustained in Afghanistan should make the appeal a no brainer for people to support this year and I shall be proud to turn out on the three occasions that we parade in Longridge.

We open the Garden of Remembrance on 24th October at 1100.
Remembrance Sunday parade leaves the Legion at 1030 on 8th November.
Act of Remembrance at 1100 on Wednesday 11th November at the War Memorial.
