Madam,

On behalf of the Aberystwyth branch of the Royal British Legion, may I through your newspaper take this opportunity to once again thank the people and business community of Aberystwyth for their continued support of The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.

Due to their fantastic generosity and goodwill, to date the 2017 Appeal has realised the sum of £23,500. This takes the total donated in the last five years to a staggering sum of over £140,000.

The continued generosity of this town is overwhelming and humbling and makes me very proud to be part of such a fantastic community.

May I also take this opportunity to thank all those who volunteered their time to help the Aberystwyth branch of the Royal British Legion in raising such a fantastic sum.

Yours etc,

David Ebenezer, co-ordinator, Aberystwyth Poppy Appeal.
