After the Remembrance period of 2017, Dave & Maggie Ridgway stepped down as Poppy Appeal Organisers for the Pawlett Branch. Although ostensibly just covering Pawlett, Dave and Maggie had over the years "inherited" various neighbouring areas, and consequently had a very large number of Poppy collectors to organise, and boxes to distribute.

Unsurprisingly we wanted their work over the 13 years that they were PAO to be recognised, and they were presented with Certificates of Appreciation by the Somerset County Chairman and the Pawlett Branch Chairman.
