For sometime now, we have been working to help TRG members outside of London and the South-East access more of what the TRG provides. We have begun the process of recording some of our more important events and making them available online.
Here you can watch the Rt Hon David Davis MP, Shadow Home Secretary, deliver one of the TRG’s flagship annual addresses, the Macmillan Lecture 2008. David introduces his thoughts as chair of the party’s Social Mobility Task Force.
As part of our ongoing process of adding recordings from the TRG archives to our web presence, here is an address by Lord Heseltine to Student TRG from March 2006.
In 1985 the TRG held a dinner to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The guest of honour was Lord Stockton (Harold Macmillan). His address to the assembled members of the TRG was recorded, albeit only the sound, and we recently found a copy in our archives (actually, it turned up underneath a pile of papers when we moved offices!).
In the future, we intend to add materials of this kind to an “Archives” section of the website. While this is under contstruction, we though you might like this little taster of what is to come.
The video is hosted by Google Video. If you have any problems playing it, let us know, as it may mean we change how we intend to place things on the website.
