EVENT AT THE TA CENTRE, LIMAVADY ON 14/10/13 IN ADVANCE OF THE POPPY APPEAL LAUNCH BY KIND PERMISSION OF 253 MEDICAL REGIMENT

Who's this?

Medic ready for action on "Sinman" - a computerised training aid worth £36,000 - more lifelike than you can imagine; breathes, has a pulse, speaks, his tongue can swell and his symptoms are adjusted to respond to the treatment being administered by the medics 

Wonder what Richard Nicholl and the PSAO are chatting about?

Branch President, Ernie Norris, with volunteer Poppy People Pearl Caldwell & Rex Boorman; all ready for action.

Members of 253 Medical Regiment, 108 Medical Squadron and Army cadets. Padre to The RBL, N. I. Canon Sam Mc Veigh, MBE in the background.

Guests hear how the poppy became the Nation's symbol of Remembrance

 The Launch of the 2012 Poppy Appeal

Kindly hosted at an exhibition by Alistair Harper on Limavady and WW1 in the Roe Valley Arts & Cultural Centre

Launch of the Poppy Appeal in 2011

Poppy Man came to visit the Roe Valley. Two of our veterans, Gwen Harvey and Bobby Scott, were happy to show him around. This shot from the viewing point on top of Benevenagh looking out over Magilligan Point towards the Donegal hills.

 Cadets and TA serviceman join Poppy Man. Lovely weather on the day.

Poppy Man's tour of the Borough moves to Mussenden Temple at Downhill and then it's back to town to get on with the collection.
