Yesterday saw the launch of this year’s Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. You can donate on-line (click on the poppy above to go to the Royal British Legion website) or get your poppies locally at the Parwich Legion and the Sycamore Inn.
Obviously the memory of those who died in action is more to the fore this year as we are rebuilding the Memorial Hall, part of our community’s recognition of their sacrifice and a celebration of what they fought for.
