The British Legion Poppy Appeal organisers Dave and Tricia Preston are delighted to report the final record collection for Newton Aycliffe is £13,606.44p. Dave told Newton News how pleased he was with this magnificent effort, thanking everyone who helped and contributed to the amount collected.
“I wish to thank the Co-op Funeral Service who provided transport to visit schools and factories with the poppies. Also the Rotary Club along with Trish Reed and her sponsors for the Charity Night at the club. May I also commend the collections made by the British Legion Women’s Section in Tesco.” said Dave.
