LITTLEHAM RBL TRIUMPH: Littleham’s Royal British Legion ladies’ branch is celebrating smashing a fundraising record.

The women’s section has announced it has broken all previous records held by the branch and is already �200 ahead on last year’s efforts.

Members are now gearing up for the next event on Wednesday, November 2, when, from 10am, they will hold a coffee morning at the Bidmead Centre, Littleham, including a cake stall and raffle.

As well as raising cash for the annual Poppy Appeal, the group raised an extra �800, which will be shared between the Royal British Legion Children’s Fund and the Royal British Legion National Benevolent Fund.

Group chairman Margaret West said: “We are delighted with our fundraising efforts this year, thanks to a very hard-working committee and continuous support shown by members, friends, family and residents.”

The branch is always keen to recruit new members. It meets every second Wednesday evening of the month and has regular speakers. For more information, contact Margaret West on (01395) 277503.
