Rupert's Virtual Day 2020

Because of Covid 19 the Followers were unable to hold our Annual Get-together and AGM at Warwick this year - scheduled for 29th August. Doubly disappointing as it was Rupert's centenary. However Follower Christine Dobbin did provide us with a Virtual Rupert Day instead on that date, presenting a series of videos through our Facebook group taken at previous 'Annuals' and featuring various talks and other activities that make the day so enjoyable. Not everybody could join us live so we are pleased to present here the videos shown on the day for your enjoyment! Many thanks to Christine for making these videos available to us.
