2024 Marple Poppy Appeal raises £23,334 for RBL!
Final update from the Marple Poppy Appeal Team
Once again the Marple Poppy Appeal Team has achieved remarkable success by raising £23,334.19 for the Royal British Legion with the 2024 Poppy Appeal. That's a phenomenal amount, especially in these difficult times, and takes their running total since 2017 to over £165,500! So a huge well done to Kevin Murray, who has not allowed his own personal challenges to deter his efforts this year.
Ride of Remembrance 2024
The Ride of Remembrance has quickly become an established Marple event, with 100 motorbike riders each carrying one of the large street poppies with the name of one of the fallen men from the Marple area. This year's ride was on Sunday 27th October and the route was from St Paul’s Church in Compstall, into Marple Bridge, up Station Road to Stockport Road, turning left up to Hibbert Lane, then right up Hibbert Lane to Hawk Green, Left past The Crown, left at Ridge Road, down Church Lane to Hibbert Lane roundabout, turning right to Stockport Road and then up to Marple Memorial Park, where the poppies carried by the riders were transferred onto the Wall of Remembrance.
