Remembrance Sunday

Given the increasing number of our boys and girls coming home via Wootton Bassett, could I ask please each of you to make a special effort for Remembrance Sunday on November 8th, not forgetting that November 11 is on the Wednesday following and, for many, 11 o'clock on that particular morning has even more meaning than the Sunday.

If you are minded to do a window display, I'm sure your local British Legion branch would be only to glad to help with a collection tin and poppies as well.

We don't see or hear much of the hundreds who have come home crippled and disfigured, and not just from current conflicts. The Poppy Appeal funds a great deal of unseen care and comfort and they need more money as each year goes by.

Please help if you can.

Thank you.

Great point.. My local legion also supply me with poppy wreaths and crosses that I display in the window (and sell) for them... A very worthwhile cause

Ive just requested box/crosses and a tin

Think we should have a FN competition - who can collect the most money for them! x

A petition on the Downing Street website for such a holiday got over 500,000 signatures in just 6 months. Mr Brown just ignored it!

Mr Brown is a useless fecking twat

we have been chatting about this and trying to decide wot to put in the window,we do have a box in the shop every year and as a family we try to go to rememberance service i think it is an important thing to remember and even more so now.
but best of all i like to watch my daughter taking part with all her army cadet friends.
i hope you have been buying the 'help for heroes'wrist bands and stuff...very important to help the injured and maimed servicemen as well
