The team had a very successful sponsored walk last month and the Branch performed splendidly at the Midsomer Norton Town Fayre.

The total for both events was £669.65.

Chairman Martin Feeney writes:

"We still need to chase up some of the wreaths and Poppy Sprays for Remembrance but the process of preparing for Remembrance and the Poppy Appeal is going ahead with gusto.

"One hundred and forty eight collecting tins have been labelled and stored ready for use.

"I am given to understand that the next job of the Poppy Appeal team is to make up the poppy trays ready for distribution. This is scheduled for the last two weeks of September. The local councils and clergy have also been informed regarding the arrangements for the Dressing of Graves. "
