ONCE again, the members of the Royal British Legion, Bere Alston branch, would like to thank the people of the Bere Peninsula, that is Bere Ferrers, Bere Alston and the surrounding area, for their outstanding contribution to this year's Poppy Appeal.

The total amount collected was a record-breaking £1,194.94. None of this would be achieved of it was not for the hard work and the dedication of those people who continue to go round each year collecting on behalf of the Royal British Legion.

So we would like to say thank you to Rosemary Bell, Tom Chapple, Hugh Clarke-Lens, Ron Gray, Mike Johnson, Jean Kerswell, Pam and Lloyd Watt, Elizabeth McQueen, John Martin, Stan Sherrell, Jeanette Simpson (Bere Alston), Mr and Mrs Simpson (Bere Ferrers), John Voaden and Peter York.
