It follows the retirement of several long-serving collectors in the village who it has not so far been possible to replace.

The search is on for anyone who may be prepared to spare a few hours to knock on a few doors and sell poppies in aid of ex-servicemen and women and their families.

The collections are usually made at the end of October and beginning of November in advance of Remembrance Day.

Anyone who may able to help is asked to contact Liz Seal on 01424 892547 or via e-mail at [email protected]

Collection boxes will be available at the Red Lion, Hope Cottage Farm Shop, The Lamb Inn and other fixed points locally.
