Fantastic support for Marple Poppy Appeal continues...

Local businesses and organisations continue to come forward to sponsor the Street Poppies and support the Marple Poppy Appeal.

Here are the latest additions:

So how much is it sponsor a poppy?

I think it is similar to when you purchase a poppy - there is no fixed price, it is whatever the person or business wants to pay.

Personally (not speaking for the Marple Poppy Appeal Team) I'd say £5, £10 or £20 if you can afford it, but it could be £100 too - all the money goes to the RBL Poppy Appeal.

As an example, The Marple Website has sponsored the street poppies for £20 this year.

The Last Post collection time refers to 11.00am.

The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, in a very poignant tribute to Remembrance Day.

The post box is guarded by two ‘Silent Soldiers’

The prints are available in two different sizes.

Large (nominal frame size 50 x 40 cms) – supplied mounted and framed.

Small (nominal frame size 30 x 21 cms) – supplied framed.

Both will be much sort after, so please order early to avoid any disappointment, as there will be a limited number of each.

They are very reasonably priced at only £50 (large) and £25 (small) and all profits go directly to the Marple Poppy Appeal.
