Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Want to Sell Poppies for the British Legion this Year?
For a few years now some folk on HoL have been asking why it's so difficult to buy a remembrance poppy in Harringay. So I got in touch with the British Legion last year to ask how a community would go about getting involved and making poppies available for sale.
I spoke with a chap called George Mould who evidently remembered our conversation. He's just been in touch to ask if any members of the Harringay community would like to be involved this year.
I suppose we'd need someone who'd be willing to stand in as a local contact point and others who would like to be involved selling the poppies.
So is any of that 2012/2014 interest still in the air?

Hi Hugh,
I've been selling poppies at Turnpike Lane and Manor House stations for the past three years, and have been the local contact point as well. I'm perfectly happy to do it again this year. Perhaps you could get in touch so we can discuss how to increase the takings.
Best,
David

That's great, David. You've clearly been hiding your poppies under a bushell!
Thanks for your call earlier. As I said to you, I'd be delighted if you'd act as the Harringay co-oridination point. How should people get in touch with you?
As discussed, I wrote to George last night to ask about stationing some points within local shops and unless he offers any hurdles, this sounds like a key part of any Harringay approach.
I'ev already heard back from Andy Newman at the GRA too and no doubt you guys will be in touch.
