THE chairman and members of the Powick and Callow End branch of the Royal British Legion wish to thank the public for their continued generosity in supporting the Poppy Appeal in 2004.

The total collected in the parish this year, from house to house and static collection boxes, was £2,491.11 and once again an increase over the previous year was achieved.

On behalf of those dependants who will benefit from the appeal and from the branch members, we wish you all a prosperous and peaceful new year.

JOHN MASON (press secretary), Bramley Close, Powick.
