HELP! November 11 draws closer and this is the day when we remember people who gave their lives in two World Wars, and other conflicts, that we who are alive today may live in a free and democratic land.

The Royal British Legion (Aston Fields Branch) is desperately crying out for help for people to volunteer to assist this branch in its Poppy Appeal collection. The Aston Fields Branch is running very short of members and the ones that are left are of well advanced years.

As Poppy Appeal organiser for the Aston Fields Branch, I am asking the public of Bromsgrove for their support and help in our collections.

With this in mind, if any member of the public can help us at this year's collection, they can contact me on Bromsgrove 832414.
