WINGS CASH: Exmouth’s RAFA club is celebrating raising more than �700 after holding a trio of successful street collections.

The club raised �739 for the 2011 Wings appeal after collecting in Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton and Exmouth.

A further �236 was raised thanks to the generosity of First Great Western allowing the RAFA Club to hold collections at Exmouth and Exeter Central train stations.

Roma Patten, Exmouth RAFA branch Wings Appeal officer, thanked all the collectors, staff and cadets from 13, 299 and 2469 ATC Squadrons for their effort.

She said: “Members of the public were generous in their support, for which the branch is most grateful.”
