The Branch AGM was attended by 15 members. Jonathan Morley-Cooper was thanked for his work on the committee and Mike Wool took his place as Vice-chairman. All other officials remain as last year. We welcome to the Branch Rev'd. Nicholas Maddock, Phil Giorgetti and Jennifer and Anne Marks.
On a sad note, we report the deaths of Alma Wood, Walter Wyatt, and committee member Martin Lawson.
The Remembrance Service and Parade were well attended and the sermon, by one of our new members, gave the history of the Legion over the 90 years since it commenced.
If you would like to support the Legion, the membership is open to anyone. To join, contact John Gallop, Branch Secretary 862621
Poppy Appeal
A big thank-you to all in the Parish who donated, the collectors, and the businesses which had collecting tins. We again exceeded all previous collections and raised £4365.83, an increase of 8.75%. Well done everyone.
The Chairman will be inviting all collectors to a thank-you coffee morning in March. I finish with a request. If you feel you could give
just a few hours at Remembrancetide helping with our door-to-door collections I would be pleased to add your name to a waiting list. Many of our current collectors are quite elderly and, unfortunately, they do not go on for ever.
