I AM writing to say how much I enjoyed collecting in Redditch town centre on behalf of the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal.
This was the first time I have collected for them and I would urge anyone to spare a few hours next year to help out.
I was able to help raise thousands of pounds for a good cause, talk to hundreds of people and saw a few people I'd not met for years.
The other volunteers are so friendly and well organised that it was a pleasure to arrive and help out for a while.
Special thanks in particular to Peter Styler, who co-ordinated the collection and, of course, to his team of dedicated helpers.
Finally, a big thank you to the kind and generous people of Redditch. By 4.30pm there weren't many in the town centre who weren't wearing a poppy.
