Remembrance Poppy Wreaths - November may seem a long way off...........

Important notice for ordering wreaths for this year.

Many military associated and youth organisations are already able to have their logo/emblem printed on an insert for wreaths.

If you wish to lay a wreath and would like a pre printed/design insert with your wreath please contact the Filey Poppy Appeal Organiser (PAO) on [email protected]. They will send you the paperwork to be completed. You will need to provide an image to be uploaded with the paperwork. This design will be stored for future years if requested.

Orders must be submitted and approved by the end of August, so to ensure enough time please aim for the end of July, very beginning of August to return the paperwork. This will allow for any issues to be resolved.

If you wish to order a wreath, you can do so now. Just email [email protected]. On arrival, we will arrange a collection point and time for the wreaths - payment will be taken at collection by card/cash or cheque. Payment must be made to be able to collect the wreath. A price list is attached to this message - simply request the type/quantity required.

Please plan ahead and order wreaths required by end of July/beginning of August. This will ensure availability of wreaths. The PAO may have some spares pre-ordered, but this will be on first come first served basis, and will not have pre printed inserts available.

The Poppy Appeal Team can be contacted on either [email protected] or 07423 068724.

Wow what a weekend at Filey Food Festival thank you for allowing us to have the stall this weekend. Both Branch and Poppy Appeal attended.

Huge thanks to every single person who helped out on both stalls over the weekend.

Branch Bottle Tombola £931.60

Poppy Appeal items and Gin/Whisky raffle sheets. £555.50. The Gin wasnt claimed so will be part of the bottle raffle for Poppy Appeal next food festival.

Thank you to all those visiting and taking a chance on the tombola and raffle and for making donations. 🫡👏👏👏

The members of Filey Royal British Legion would like to express our sincere thanks to the family and friends of Derek Brookes, who recently made a donation of £37 to the Poppy Appeal in his memory following his sad passing.

We are deeply grateful that, during such a difficult time, they chose to support the work of the Poppy Appeal. Donations made in memory of loved ones are always especially meaningful and help us continue providing vital support to veterans, serving personnel and their families.

Our thoughts remain with Derek's family and friends at this sad time.

Thank you for helping to keep Derek's memory alive through your generosity.

🎉 Poppy Appeal Gin Raffle Update 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our recent Poppy Appeal gin raffle and helped raise funds for the Royal British Legion and the Poppy Appeal.

The winning ticket drawn was Number 32, however unfortunately the prize was not claimed.

As a result, the bottle of gin will be raffled again at the August Food Festival, giving everyone another chance to win!

Thank you once again to everyone who donated and supported our fundraising efforts. Your generosity helps us continue supporting veterans, serving personnel and their families, both locally and across the UK.

We look forward to seeing you at the August Food Festival!
