The Great Poppy Party Weekend
10 June 2011 - 12 June 2011
We'd love to see everyone join the nationwide
celebrations of the 90th anniversary of The Royal British Legion by
hosting a Poppy Party on the weekend of 10-12 June 2011 with family
and friends, with neighbours or work colleagues.
It doesn't matter whether it's a barbecue, fancy dress event, karaoke night, masked ball, barn dance, games evening, a dress down day at school, or any one of so many other wonderful and inventive ways of partying.
Just join us and the many local authorities throughout the UK in making it a memorable occasion for all those taking part.
And wherever you are please raise a glass of your favourite beverage and toast the Legion at 4pm on Sunday 12 June.
"This is a chance to celebrate our great organisation, so spread the word. Tell your friends about it when you're having a drink in your club, or post a message on Facebook or Twitter. We want as many people involved as possible," says Bob Gamble, Head of Membership.
Parties can also raise valuable funds to further the welfare work of the Legion for the future, 90 years and more of helping millions of beneficiaries - men and women who serve and have served their country at home and abroad, many at enormous personal cost to themselves and their families.
