Ramsbottom RBL Poppy Appeal 2018 an Overwhelming Success!

The Royal British Legion Ramsbottom Branch would like to thank all the people of Ramsbottom and the surrounding areas for their efforts in helping to make the 2018 Poppy Appeal an overwhelming success. With special thanks to all the Poppy Collectors, the Distributors, the Counters and anyone who contributed in any way to help with this year’s total of £21,270

Poppy Appeal Organisers Colin Grundy,  Geoff Briggs and Stuart Triplow would like to thank everyone for all their efforts and kind generosity throughout the annual appeal.

Special thanks to the Drop Inn Cafe of Edenfield and Summerseat Garden Centre for their kind donations, also the  local supermarkets who  were once again a great help and support in allowing our Poppy Appeal collections to take place inside their stores, thank you to all of them for supporting us as do every year.

On Saturday 12th January 2013 The Ramsbottom Branch of the Royal British Legion collected an award at the annual RBL Lancashire County Conference. The George Haffner Poppy Shield was awarded for the highest percentage increase of monies raised for the Poppy Appeal over a 3 year period for sums over £10,000.

A huge thank you to all those people of Ramsbottom and surrounding areas who contribute so willingly to the Annual Poppy Appeal.
