Just in case any members see this, Mike Dilger is the speaker this saturday (27th) at 7:30 in Goytre village hall. Talking about his family and other diseases.
Should be good. (assuming everyone knows who Mike Dilger is? if not hes the bloke that was on Natures calander with Chris Packam, springwatch and hands on nature, i think?)

The Society's AGM is coming up soon. Its on the 17th January with a talk about Wyeswood Common after the main business of the night is taken care of. It was decided in the last AGM to donate a sum of money to the Wildlife trust to purchase Wyeswood, so it should be interesting to hear how everythings getting on. Theres also a buffet, so bring something nice along (i dont like cheese and onion sandwiches, so dont bring those! lol)
