On behalf of the Moreton in Marsh Poppy Appeal I write to thank all those who assisted recently. The Poppy Shop provided by Mr J Hayman-Joyce proved to be an ideal centre for our activity manned by our band of helpers.

Shopkeepers, publicans, bank staffs and schools significantly assisted with their collecting boxes both in Moreton in Marsh and in the surrounding villages.

The total to date is in excess of £9,500 and we hope for more to come. Thanks also to Mr and Mrs Robinson who entertained the mobile helpers to an excellent lunch.

Thanks to all involved in assisting this very worthy cause, G E Matthews, Poppy Appeal Organiser, Bourton Road, Moreton in Marsh.
