As a member of the Royal British Legion, W Bro Phillip Benson, Master during 2010, decided to dedicate the charitable collections during his year to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.

The Atherstone Branch Poppy Appeal is organised by Mrs Carol Housden, Mrs Susan Benson, and Mrs Linda Evans.

Carol is the daughter of an Athelstan Member, W Bro Frank Salt; Susan is Phil’s wife; Linda is one of Phil’s in-laws.  (I wonder why he chose the Poppy Appeal?)
