Party organisers can get Poppy Party Packs from the Legion, which include all the essentials to kick off a great event such as invitation cards, napkins and tablecloth as well as a frisbee. The Great Poppy Party Weekend will take place on 10th, 11th and 12th June 2011 and people nationwide are being encouraged to be as creative as possible with their party ideas. There is a £1,000 prize for the most unusual party location, with some inventive ideas already planned including a party at the Halley Research Centre in Antarctica, the iconic Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth and on top of Pen Y Fan Mountain in Wales. **Raising vital funds** The Legion is also asking party organisers to think of imaginative ways of raising vital funds to support our Armed Forces family. Whether it's asking people to donate at the entrance or through a raffle, all the money raised from the Great Poppy Party Weekend will go towards meeting the Legion's overall target of raising £90 million in its 90th Anniversary year. The Legion's Director General Chris Simpkins said the charity's work is crucial to helping the 'Afghan generation' of the Armed Forces family in its 90th year. "We have made a £50 million funding commitment to pay for The Royal British Legion Battle Back Centre and the operating costs of a wider Personnel Recovery Capability for ten years," Mr Simpkins said. "The Battle Back Centre will be a national centre of excellence for activity based rehabilitation to help wounded, injured and sick Armed Forces personnel regain their fitness and return to duty, or reskill and make a successful transition to civilian life. We are honoured to commit £50 million, the Legion's biggest single funding commitment in 90 years, towards these invaluable projects, which will be conducted in partnership with Help for Heroes and the Ministry of Defence." The whole recovery programme will help around 800 wounded, injured and long- term sick Service personnel each year between 2011 and 2021. **More information ** For further information about the Great Poppy Party Weekend and to register your party, please visit [**The Great Poppy Party Weekend**][2] website or call 01722 714937.
