The RBL Mojacar Branch Committee

The Mojacar Branch of The Royal British Legion is very grateful to all those who gave time and energy to the 2010 Appeal when we were able to contribute an amazing amount of 10,687.46€ towards the 107,146.97€ which was the final figure the various Branches throughout Spain collected.   This, indeed, is confirmation that although having left our homeland, those who wear TRBL badge still stand shoulder to shoulder with all who serve in our armed forces, and acknowledge the need to provide care to their dependents and families something The Royal British Legion have done since 1921.

We were enormously aided by the generosity of many local businesses who donated prizes to the Mojacar Poppy Appeal Dinner Dance raffle: Spanish Properties, Celebrations, The Farmacia, as well as vouchers for meals from many restaurants which together raised 250,00€ for the Poppy Appeal.  The  Poppy Box left at GB Stores raised 134,00€ and 170+ boxes were distributed along the Mojacar Playa. To   Peter van Pahlen who for the past 7 years has collected at Almeria Airport and was able once again to raise approximately 1,000€.  The Anglican Church, Mojacar Masons, both the La Mata & the Cabrera Bowling Club , Sol Times and individual membership donations,  it is to all these dedicated participants that we owe a great deal of appreciation and thanks, without their help the Mojacar Branch would not have been able to achieve the final amount raised.   Thank You All.
