About 30 local people turned out on Saturday afternoon for our poppy planting ceremony with Wardie and Newhaven Churches.  Justin Taylor, the Wardie Church youth leader spoke for a few minutes on the Great War and its impact on people and communities.  The poppy seeds were planted by the children and Alister Greig, from Newhaven Church, closed with a few words, and an advert for the Friends of Starbank Park!  And all was with a backdrop of a yacht race, so close that we could hear the wind rattling the sales!

Special thanks to Wardie and Newhaven Churches for the ceremony and to Newhaven Heritage and Bill Simpson for their support.
