Some Friday cheer!
A little birdie told us about the return of Rhodie at the #RU120SportsFestival, happening from 9th to 10th of August.
The birdie also promised us some entertaining dance moves by Rhodie, and we can't wait to see them!
Don't miss the evolution of Rhodie at the Registrar's #RU120 Glimpse #ThroughTheYears Exhibition at Eden Grove.
