The new intake of Commonwealth scholars and overseas students were welcomed on 2nd November by University of Bath staff and Andrew Prentice one of our RCS Bath and District Branch trustees. The event, which took place at the Roman Baths in the centre of the city was a chance for the students to learn more about the work of the branch and the Royal Commonwealth Society generally. Students, who braved the very heavy downpour to arrive, enjoyed a drink and had the chance to talk about their forthcoming hopes for the year.
