Sleaford’s Poppy Prom returns for 21st year
The Sleaford & District Branch of the Royal British Legion is to hold its 21st annual Poppy Concert performed by The Sleaford Concert Band.
The venue will again be in the hall at St George’s Academy, Sleaford on Saturday, October 24, at 7pm under the conductorship of Paul Emmett, who has chosen a varied and entertaining musical programme showing the prowess of the many talented musicians in the band.
The concert will conclude with a Prom style finale where flag waving is essential and flags will be provided on the night.
Branch members hope that the public will come along and enjoy a fabulous concert and “unashamed patriotism”, designed to raise funds and provide an evening of entertainment by the outstanding local concert band.
All funds raised will go to the Poppy Appeal and help the Royal British Legion to continue its work in supporting those currently serving, their families and ex-service community.
There will be a raffle during the evening, a RBL merchandise stall and interval refreshments available.
They will also welcome two Chelsea Pensioners.
Entry will be ticket only at £10, on sale at Moore and Scrupps jewellers, South Gate, Sleaford; Sleaford Jewellers, Southgate, Sleaford; Ruskington Co-op store; and leading up to the concert in Sleaford
Tesco on certain days. Programmes will also be on sale on the evening at St George’s Academy.
There is plenty of car parking space and disabled access.
The branch meets on the second Wednesday of every month at 7pm at the Legionnaires Club, Sleaford. Anyone wishing to join them would be most welcome and you do not need to have a military background to join.
