<strong>The</strong> final total includes monies raised by<br />
Jonathan and Mark Knight who carried out a<br />
marathon cycle ride from Tidworth in<br />
Hampshire to Campoverde in Spain. Jonathan,<br />
a former soldier with 24 years’ service<br />
supported by his brother Mark driving the<br />
support vehicle undertook this grueling<br />
challenge in aid of the Royal British Legion<br />
Poppy Appeal. <strong>The</strong> brothers reached Castalla<br />
on Thursday 23rd September to be greeted by<br />
members of the Alicante Branch and members<br />
of the Community. <strong>The</strong> brothers rested<br />
overnight before continuing their journey to<br />
their final destination at Campoverde.<br />

would like to take this opportunity to<br />
thank all Branch Members and Members<br />
of the Community for their support<br />
during 2021, a fantastic effort which will<br />
go a long way to helping our<br />
benefactors here in Spain.<br />
