What was Involved

Our Poppy Appeal Area covers about 45 square miles with many small villages including Market Harborough and Kibworth.

We run a Poppy Stall in Market Harborough market.

To act as a base and control centre for the street collectors we use a stall in the Market Hall. Each day the required numbers of boxes and trays are brought to the stall, together with poppies and other items to refill the trays when the collectors return at the end of their stints. Their boxes are taken for safe-keeping and money counting.

The stall is also important as a display and information area attempting to explain the work of the Legion and the need for the Poppy Appeal. It is also a useful source of contributions.

So well done everybody, and a big Thank You to all the people of Market Harborough district who have been so generous again.
