Shame I'll be at work. Whoever does go it should be interesting.

Any chance of it being recorded and being made available on-line?

Good idea. It'd give everyone a chance to listen.

Not sure on the recording thing, I’ll ask Michael. The event is being hosted by Oldham Gallery and is part of the year long exhibition we have had n he upstairs room at the Gallery

if you haven’t had chance to see it is well worth a look. It is the first of a series of exhibitions of the collection we donated to the Community 

I think the exhibition concluded after the world cup

Thanks all!

Michael gave a really good talk to the Oldham Historical Research Group about ORLFC on Zoom which they said would be put on their website. It would be good if our Roughyeds site could post links to such things, maybe

Hi all. The talk went really well yesterday. Among the attendees were Chris Hamilton, John Watkins, Joe Warburton. Total attendance was well over 20. The plan was for me to film it but unfortunately illness prevented this.

I'm glad it went well. Sorry I couldn't be there.
