Behind the Scenes at the Cenotaph Parade

On Tuesday at our monthly meeting we enjoyed a very interesting talk by Stewart Leach MBE about what happens behind the scenes at the Cenotaph Parade.  Stewart told us a bit about the background and history of this day.  He then talked us through the organisation required to make the parade run smoothly.  It was fascinating and really opened our eyes to just what goes on behind the scenes to make the day so effective.

After the talk, Stewart judged the competition entries - the brief was a handmade bookmark with a poppy theme.  There was as always a high standard as seen below.  Well done to our talented members!
