Poppies in 2014

Thanks to Cranfield RBL's John and Jean Seamark for their presentation last night about the poppy seeding designed to produce a WW1 commemorative bloom next summer. The PC is fully behind that - we just need to identify where, or where not, the seeding happens. 

My personal view is that commemoration is important and significant - there are 43 Cranfield names from WWI on the war memorial but it must not be seen as a celebration. The First World War was a human, political and military failure and the sacrifices were all in vain.
