Remembrance Parade, Sunday 8th November 2026.

🌺 REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY – SUNDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 🌺
Alsager Town Council kindly reminds residents that our Remembrance Parade will take place on Sunday, 8th November.

📍 Form up: ASDA car park between 2:00 pm and 2:15 pm
🕊️ Parade departs: 2:30 pm

🚧 Please be aware that road closures will be in place on Lawton Road, Crewe Road, Sandbach Road North and South, Ashmore's Lane, Brookhouse Road to facilitate the parade. We kindly ask residents and motorists to plan their journeys accordingly and allow extra time for any disruption.

We invite residents and members of our community to come together in remembrance, reflection and gratitude as we honour the courage, sacrifice and service of our Armed Forces.

We remember all servicemen and women — those who gave their lives in the service of our country, those who have served in the past, and those who continue to serve today, often spending time away from their loved ones to protect the freedoms we enjoy.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the Royal British Legion for their continued and invaluable work supporting our veterans, serving members of the Armed Forces and their families.

❤️ “At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”
Let us stand together as a community to pay our respects to all those who have served and sacrificed for us.

Lest we forget. 🌺

❤️ REMEMBRANCE WEEKEND ❤️

This Remembrance Weekend, we want to show our appreciation to all serving soldiers and veterans who have given so much for our country.

As a small way of saying THANK YOU, we’d love to give a little something back. 🇬🇧

We’re offering FREE BREAKFAST on both Saturday and Sunday, from 9am–11am.

It’s only a small gesture, but it’s our way of showing our gratitude, respect and support to those who have served and continue to serve.

Please spread the word and come along. Everyone who has served deserves to be recognised and appreciated. ❤️

Lest We Forget. 🌹

The 2026 Poppy Appeal has opened in Alsager. Thanks to Phil and Tony from the RBL Riders Branch for attending yesterday. Some of you may have noticed that this year's Appeal in Alsager is a shadow of previous years. Sadly the local Branch does not have a Poppy Appeal Organiser to run a full blown Poppy Appeal. The Branch Officers have done their best to provide a presence at ASDA and Sainsbury's, with limited stock and volunteers. Thank you to those volunteers, and thank you to the people of Alsager for your support.

Good Morning,

Please find below a letter from Alsager RBL Branch Chairman expressing his thanks to you, the good people of Alsager, who have supported the Branch and the Royal British Legion during his time as Poppy Appeal Organiser for Alsager. We hope to have some good news, in the not too distant future regarding the Appointment of his successor as Poppy Appeal Organiser.

Dear RBL Poppy Appeal Supporter,

Firstly, may I thank you for your wonderful support over the past years, helping the Alsager Branch of the Royal British Legion increasing the Poppy Appeal donations from £11,350.36, in 2013 to over £25,000.00 in 2025.

Unfortunately the time has come for me to hang up the collecting tin, and, although I hope to handover to a younger person, at the moment, this person has yet to come forward.

This means there is no one to contact for wreaths at present. I will endeavour to contact the Poppy Appeal Manager for Cheshire East, and ascertain if there is any way that I can obtain wreaths.

Once Again, can I take the opportunity to thank you all for your support, and I hope you will continue to support the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal in a manner that you deem fit.

Yours sincerely,

Stewart Waring
Alsager Branch Chairman
