The 2006 Poppy Appeal, which ended on November 12 raised the record sum of £11,495 in the Clevedon area. This is an excellent result, and £1,280 above the total last year which was itself a record. Thanks go from the local Royal British Legion members to the general public, who, as in previous years, supported the work so generously and to the increasing number of people who volunteer two hourly periods to collect.With the above figure and other fund-raising events, so far this year, £13,000 has been sent to headquarters.Thank you for so readily giving time and money.C J NorrishLocal Poppy Appeal organiser
