The 99th Poppy Appeal this year is very different. For example, for COVID-19 reasons there will be no traditional door-to door collections anywhere. However, there will be trays of traditional poppies in key locations around Wye and surrounding parishes. Also, please look out for pop-up stalls in Church Street, Wye and Wye News for extra items, including enamel 2020 poppy lapel badges, and commemorative VE75 badges.
