I have done a display for Poppy Day for the last ten years independant of my local MVT area ( they couldn't be bothered to get involved) . Just contact your local RBL secretary for advice. We have a number of car park spaces kindly allocated by the local council( parking fees waived) to enable the display, consisting of vehicles, equipment, artillery, photo displays etc,even WW2 era music but be careful of copywright ! usually something different each year. Due to Health & Safety regulations the council have always asked to see some public liability insurance and/or a risk assesment but normally this is no problem with vehicles.
We have had a group of local ATS or Army Cadets at the display for the collection so we actually haven't had to get involved with that side of it. WW2 uniform is the usuall dress, it attracts attention hopefully with sale of a Poppy. Its so easy, our local branch usually raises about £10,000 so its worth while. You also get to meet lots of locals who served and can tell you stories of their exploits, you will always find ex-servicemen who drove your type of vehicle !
