RSGB 2025 Convention

If you’ve not been to a Convention before, be inspired by this snapshot of last year’s event!

The RSGB’s 2025 Convention took place in October and was a fantastic weekend of presentations, forums, drop-in sessions and workshops. There was also lots of time to socialise, find out about special interest groups and RSGB committees, and meet people in person that you’ve spoken to on the radio! Here’s a snapshot of the weekend – can you spot yourself or your friends.
