To mark the first day of this year's Poppy collections the Royal British Legion Motorcycle group are aiming to cover as much of Cumbria as possible in one weekend and will be carrying a Gold Poppy around the county. This will be transferred to the lead rider on every leg with it being auctioned off at the end of the ride. The riders route passes through Sedbergh where they will parade through the town with the Royal British Legion Standard and will be met at the car park by Sedbergh Town Band who will play a concert of appropriate music. Tea and buns will be available as will poppy collectors.
