Russ Barrie, Chairman of the British Legion in Northamptonshire, will be in Kettering Library to launch the Poppy Challenge to celebrate a very special centenary this year! 

Children will be challenged to plant poppies wherever they can, in their gardens, pots or any piece of rough ground (which poppies much prefer) with the support of the Royal British Legion.

The children will be encouraged to take photos, draw pictures and to write poems or stories about the poppies.

Prizes will be given for the best effort in each age group. 

So please come along to make Northamptonshire a sea of red poppies.
