  They are on sale in Dover, you can pick them up in the Town Council office by the Town Hall , and I rang the branch to ask for a box for my shop , and was waiting for a phone call back.
  
  Shall find out on Wednesday and keep ringing.

  Alan it needs some one to take them round,so if you have the time there is a good job you can do. And also you can sell them on the way round. We have no British Legion now in Dover so there is no one to aske you,that is why some one has to get out there find out there you can get the poppys which i think is Deal and take it from there.

  Heya Alan, if you google you will find the British Legion and you can volunteer over the phone.
  
  I have been known to send some of the more elderly volunteers for a cup of tea whilst I man their stand.
  
  Shall be in the shop for a little while tommorrow for anyone who wants one, I shall be changing the window to reflect the poppy appeal.
