ROBROYSTON COMMEMORATION 2016

People start to turn up

6th August 2016. Another year has passed & here we all meet again on the nearest Saturday to the 3rd of August, on the 711th anniversary of our hero's betrayal & capture, on or near this very spot. George Kempik was standing in for our Convenor, Gary, due to family matters. A decent day, and a good turn out for the event.

George Kempik, Stand-in Convenor for the day, starts off proceedings with a warm welcome
