THIS WEEK'S ALE WAS BREWED SPECIALLY IN HONOUR OF THE POPPY APPEAL. AN APPEAL WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT THE MEN, WOMEN AND FAMILIES OF BOTH SERVING AND PREVIOUS SERVING ARMED FORCES.
FOR EVERY PINT THAT WAS SOLD MITHRIL ALES DONATED 10P TO THE APPEAL.
ON SATURDAY THE 10TH NOVEMBER I WAS DELIGHTED TO PRESENT A CHEQUE FOR £70.00 TO THE POPPY APPEAL. THE ALDBROUGH PARISH CHURCH ALSO DONATED THEIR COLLECTION TO DATE, FINAL FIGURE NOT YET KNOWN AS THIS COLLECTION IS STILL ONGOING.
IN THE PICTURE WE HAVE ME, COLIN, THE STANDARD BEARER FOR THE ALDBROUGH BRANCH OF THE BRITISH LEGION AND ALSO STEPHEN THE TREASURER FOR THE AREA HEAD OFFICE. IT WAS REALLY GOOD TO MEET WITH THEM AND HAVE A CUPPA, CHAT AND SOME BISCUITS AFTERWARDS.
