The result of our plea for boxes for our troops in Afghanistan has been little short of amazing.

Collection points are: Tom at Adderley Post Office; Judy at McKelveys, the newsagent in Audlem; and ourselves – Fields Farm in Green Lane. If our gates are all shut, leave donations at the bottom of the drive hitched on the gate.

Every day we have to off-load bags and bags from Judy Benson which certainly will keep our "packers" extremely busy.

However, we have enough of the items listed under HYGEINE to make our troops about the cleanest on record!! So please no more of the Hygiene items.

Items still wanted:

Food: any canned meats, biscuits, chocolate, candy bars, canned fruit, canned tuna, bags of sweets, nuts, energy bars, ready to eat soups, cuppa soups, pot noodles, super noodles, sachets of hot drinks, chocolate powder, coffee, mashed potatoes, pepper, salt, sauces.

Other: bug repellent, hats, fingerless gloves, socks (black or white), boxer shorts, shampoo small or trial, talcum powder, magazines, playing cards, hand held travel games.
Not: lighters, aerosols, razor blades.

Royal Mail does not charge for boxes under 2 kg. so please bear that in mind when donating canned goods. We're just collecting goods – others are packing!

If you have any queries do please ring us: Rosie and Chris Lewis – Fields Farm, Green Lane. 01270-811070.

Due to my not distributing the leaflets earlier we have extended the deadline to 7th February. We can't thank everyone enough. Rosie and Chris.
