Nov 8th: A successful fundraising concert was held at Rutland Hall Hotel for the benefit of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. We were treated to many magnificent performances from pupils at all of Rutland’s secondary schools, including the Uppingham Pipe Band (below) and the Cadet Corps band. There were also interviews with senior military personnel from Rutland’s defence force bases, revealing what life is like in the armed forces that defend our country.
