Keeping cool - great idea

I missed Cranfest but I understand it had fab weather and it was a great event. I loved this pic of the RBL stall that John Seamark put on his facebook page. Well done John and well done ladies.

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.
