| July 2007 - Royal British Legion, Wivenhoe Poppy Appeal 2006
On 30 June 2007, Wivenhoe Branch held its annual Poppy Appeal Helpers Gathering. Over fifty people attended and were entertained by the branch as a way of thanking them for their continuing support and in achieving another record total of £5,939.88. Essex County Vice Chairman, Mr David Swann, and his wife
were our guests and enjoyed their evening with us. During the evening
David presented Poppy Appeal Awards to two of our collectors. Mr Rowland
Wheeler received a 30 year medal with 35 and 40 year bars; Mr Robin
Calvert received a 5 year certificate. We congratulate both recipients and
hope for their continued support. The branch is extremely fortunate to have such a
wonderful team of collectors and helpers, who year after year help to
maintain our excellent record in supporting the Poppy Appeal. 2006 was the
third year in succession that we achieved a record total. The Branch, once
again offer our thanks and gratitude to everyone who took part last year
and look forward to seeing them all again in November. Anyone who would like to join the team and help this very worthwhile charity should contact either the branch secretary, Mrs Margaret Clary on 01206 826582 or the Poppy Appeal Organiser, Mr Roger Belsham on 01206 751129. Roger
