Poppy Appeal gets underway

Welshpool veterans turned out to support a coffee morning at the Town Hall in aid of the town’s Poppy Appeal.

The event was organised by Poppy Organiser Jan Williams of Jan’s Cards with supporters serving drinks and refreshments in aid of the appeal.

Mrs Williams also held a successful fund raising day at the Bob Jones Memorial Air Show on Sunday.

The Poppy Appeal is this year being held separately from the town’s Royal British Legion Branch, which is still subject of an investigation by the national RBL office.

The Poppy Appeal headquarters will this year be based at the Tourist Information Office.
