We wish to thank everyone who has supported the Poppy Appeal in 2010 - those who have helped with the collections and those who have given donations.

Many thanks must go to our six affiliated cadet units who assisted our team of collectors along with the managers of the local supermarkets who hosted our collecting points - Morrisons (North Shields, Hillheads), Sainsburys (West Monkseaton, Northumberland Park) and Tesco (North Shields).

Thanks also to the many smaller organisations, shops and schools who supported the Appeal and of course, the general public who gave such generous contributions.

If you'd like to assist with the  Poppy Appeal in 2011  (even if you only have an hour here and there), please either email  rbl.wbnsdistrict@googlemail.com  or telephone 0191 2513557 (answering machine) and leave your name and a contact number - we'll get back to you!
