THE annual meeting of Kingsteington’s Royal British Legion was a cause for celebration as the fundraising total was revealed.

£9,200 – that was the final amount raised for this year’s poppy appeal and members of Kingsteignton’s branch of the Royal British Legion could not be more chuffed.

In light of this achievement the club would like to extend a huge thank you to all who contributed to this figure as well as all those involved with the club’s annual Christmas prize draw – including the Christmas meat draw.

The figure was unveiled at the club’s annual meeting which was held on November 24 and, alongside the poppy appeal fundraiser, saw the club’s committee elections take place.

The results from the election was: Hellen Church as chairman and Poppy Appeal organiser, Roger Keys as treasurer and membership secretary, Natalie Parkins as secretary and deputy Poppy Appeal organiser, Dai Orton as standard bearer and committee member, Rebecca Osborn as deputy Poppy Appeal organiser and committee member and finally both Shirley Linnell and Joan Gillson as committee members.

The next club committee meeting is on January 13.

Anyone wishing to add to the agenda can do so by contacting one of the secretaries – in good time of course.
