Stow on the Wold Poppy Appeal Launches with support from The Prime Minister
10/27/2013
Today we launched our 2013 Appeal on
the Green in Stow Square with members of the Riders Branch, Stow on the
Wold RBL Branch and The Prime Minister, David Cameron.
It was wonderful to launch the 2013 Appeal with support from The Prime Minister, who was visiting the town. Every poppy helps raise the £1.6 million needed by the Legion each week to deliver practical help and advice to the Armed Forces community.
The weather albeit a little windy and cold stopped raining and we were luckier to see sunshine too!
We plan to raise similar to last years total of £13,196 with the appeal
running to the 9th November. Look out for our collectors in The Square and at Tesco's. It is never too late to volunteer, if you would like to spend an hour helping the Poppy Appeal, come and say hello at the Poppy HQ.
We have already made a great start on the appeal raising over £300 in three hours.
Take a look at some of the photos from the day, below.
