Spennymoor s bespoke badge for the Royal British Legion s Poppy Appeal A SPECIAL badge in aid the Royal British Legion s Poppy Appeal, has gone on sale in Spennymoor. The town s poppy badge is usually commissioned by TA Plastics in time for Remembrance Sunday, but has been released earlier this year. Boss John Humphreys said: In previous we have always produced more than the pre-ordered amount and when they have all sold out, there was still a demand for them, but not enough time to get some more produced. So this year, I thought if we were to get the badges produced earlier and if they all sell out, it would give us more time to get more produced if the demand is there.
