Boxes and tins labelled

After travelling on business at the start of the week I have now finished labelling all tins & boxes for the static areas (shops & businesses).

Still coordinating the Collectors so will do those boxes & tins in a week or so

Last box filling

I have some helpers coming around tonight to complete the poppy box filling. 200 paper poppies, 2 packs of pins, 20 silk poppies, 5 wooden crosses and this years guidance notes!!

School boxes - 300 stick on poppies some wristbands and notes

Mail Merge

Mail merge completed with all individual tin numbers allocated to the correct location and printed out twice - one for the side of the tin - one for the side of the poppy box

Last sunny weekend of the year - probably!!

Gone camping...

Large Boxes Filled

65 large boxes got filled tonight - all with roughly 350 paper poppies, 25 silk poppies, 5 car poppies and 5 wooden crosses - these are used in larger outlets and for some collectors.  The boxes which go out to collectors are added to on distribution as enamel pins, tax disk holders and car stickers are included.

Tin unique identifier

I've updated my spreadsheet tonight for all 345 tins with their new unique identifier - every year new seals are sent by poppy appeal HQ and each tin and box are given a seal number.

This spreadsheet is used to create labels on the side of the tin and box to ensure they are issued to the correct location.

It is also during the count as each individual tin is counted and the quantity entered into the spreadsheet.

Now to start filling some boxes with poppies!!
