This year there will be some changes to Rye’s Poppy Appeal, with 2019 bringing to an end our Poppy Appeal Organiser’s three-year licence. The closure of High Street banks, together with reduced capacity, means there will be a rationalisation of Poppy Appeal outlets this year.
Poppies will, however, be on sale at Martin Channon’s Country Store, Bargain Box, St Mary’s Church and Jempson’s. Rye Sea Cadets will be covering street collections throughout the Poppy Appeal fortnight.
Arrangements for wreaths will be normal this year; a number of options for the ordering and distribution of wreaths are being considered, further details to follow once confirmed.
We are looking for a new Poppy Appeal Organiser to manage future Poppy Appeals in Rye. Please contact us for further information on what is involved, and how you may be able to help, via poppyappeal@ryebritishlegion.org.uk
