In 2008 we once again helped sell the poppies, attended the Remembrance Sunday parade and then counted the money.

Poppy selling
On Tuesday 4 November we spent our pack meeting selling poppies outside Budgens and Tesco. The collection tins were nice and heavy by the end of the evening. Those at Budgens collected £37.17 while those at Tesco collected an amazing £76.63. That makes a very respectable total of £113.80

On 9 November 2008 we took our place in the Remembrance Sunday parade.

Well done to Lee for carrying the flag so expertly despite the strong wind and to Joseph and Tom, his escorts. Well done also to Sean for laying the wreath.

For more pictures of the Cubs in the parade please see our Remembrance Sunday gallery. We are grateful to the British Legion for providing the photograph on this page.

Poppy cash counting
We spent most of our pack meeting on 11 November opening the poppy collection tins and counting the money they contained. In 2007 we counted £766 which we thought was pretty good going. This year we beat that total spectacularly with a total of £1766 including over £400 in notes.
