Virtual Presentations
Starting on 10th September and running for the two weekends preceding Convention a presentation from an OMRS member will be released. The links to the presentations will be posted here each week.
We have two excellent talks this year:
Week 1 – 10th September
Dr David Biggins is a well-known authority on the Boer War and he will talk on the Siege of Wepener – Click HERE to access the talk
Week 2 – 17th September
Ryan Darby, one of our Australian Members, will talk on the tangled story of the History of the Distinguished Conduct Medal – Click HERE to access the talk.
Virtual Exhibition
It is quite clear that this year the exhibitors’ emphasis has been on returning to the physical exhibition and we will have a good set of entries to gather round and view at Convention. However, Jon Toohey, took the plunge and has entered a virtual exhibit. I would like to congratulate him firstly on taking the plunge and deciding to exhibit this year and second on taking first prize by default by being the only entrant!
