cos I don't want to sound disrespectful, if I 'popped in' I would be asking a few questions - they ran a campaign asking for volunteers through our main local paper last year; What happened to all the people that volunteered to help? they still can't manage to answer emails? this is the 3rd time in as many years I have tried to contact them now. hmm, perhaps I should just turn up on the secretary's doorstep

There are plenty of opportunities to sell poppies in this town, and of course other ways to raise funds - especially given the current climate in Luton with soldiers/marches. There is a lot of support for the forces. I think it is a great shame that they are not making the most of it.
