<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A military-themed pub in Nottingham has chosen to help injured soldiers through the money it generates from fundraising activities.<\/p>\n
The Nottingham Post reports that the Poppy and Pint – which is adorned with army banners and other memorabilia – selected Help for Heroes, as well as the British Legion, as its charity of choice.<\/p>\n
It is to raise funds for the two organisations for as long as soldiers remain fighting in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
Secretary of the Nottingham branch of the Campaign for Real Ale Andrew Ludlow said: "This already feels like a vibrant pub. It has a comfortable, coming-home feel to it."<\/p>\n
Legion member Ken Wilkins noted the owners of the pub are trying to keep the building, which used to be home to the British Legion-affiliated Rutland Sports and Social Club, as military as they can.<\/p>\n
The Sussex Express recently reported that local GP Dr Herry Ashby is to shave his beard off – which he has sported for 40 years – to raise cash for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
