The short AGM will be followed by Sam Millard and the story of the Rufford Park Poachers

Around 40 poachers assembled at Rufford park as part of an action against what they saw as unfair control of game by wealthy landowners.

They were confronted by 10 gamekeepers and a mass brawl ensued, which led to the death of one man and serious injuries to others.

This promises o be a fascinating piece of local social history. The event are immortalised in a song which you can find on YouTube
