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. |
It's like Osem says..the combined ages of some branches members would make you blench and they are yet to get into t'internet thingy..My husband was the last chairman of our local poppy appeal and he was in his 50's and considered a young man for the job and considered quite moden for actually owning a PC at home..
The problem for the RBL is that young people/service men and women are not joining and working on committees.So maybe if anyone knows of young service personel who have left the services who might be persuaded to join their local branch and actually stand for positions on the various committees get them to please have a go.
