Uni: RAG Week Abseil, Hitch Hike, and Beaumont Street Life Plymouth, Devon - 13th February 1986

It's another busy day or two during Raise and Give - or RAG - week, down in Plymouth as firstly there's a charity hitch hike starting from the Students' Union and finishing as far away as possible, and then the PPSU Abseiling Society is doing a sponsored abseil from the roof of the Theatre Royal on Royal Parade in Plymouth city centre. In between, there are various photos of life in the students digs at Beaumont Street, and a presentation to the RAG committee from Halls Oxford and West - posing as the Plympton Pride Bank Limited, after the beer - of a cheque for £150, held in the legendary James Street Vaults
