All the school boxes went out today. Also nearly filled up my collectors schedule thanks to Dalton Barracks providing soldiers for three days.
Got an enquiry about the cost of wristbands and crosses - all poppy items are for a donation.
The Sea Cadets received their boxes ready to start going out on the streets next week.
Already receiving feedback about lack of enamel pins - the RBL issue rationed quantities to each area so I do not put them in all 400 boxes just the ones for street and house to house sellers - it seems to be the fairest way to do it otherwise there would only be a maximum of 3 pins in each box.
I do the best I can with the stock I have

Monday 22 October
I was back in the office today (I work in Swindon as a Supplier Quality Engineer for a chemical company) after two weeks away travelling on business.
I managed to organise distribution of some of my collectors boxes, co-ordinated the collection of the boxes for the local barracks, ordered more enamel pins and tins as I've run out and catch up on my two weeks out!
Tonight two distributors collected their boxes so another 100 have gone.
Also arranged with the cadet forces times for delivery of their boxes this week. All boxes are to be out and delivered by Saturday 27 October.

Spent today getting 51 collectors boxes ready for cadet forces and other individual collectors around Abingdon
All going well until I ran out of enamel pins (only issued with rationed quantity) and collectors tins so an urgent call to HQ is required first thing tomorrow!
