Roger Umpelby made a return visit on feb 20th to cheer up a winter evening with colourful slides of British Butterflies, of which apparently there are 111 species. Of those 58 are native to Britain. The butterflies were really beautiful-the underside as well as the upper wings and the use of camouflage was particularly evident. Judging by the many questions, members found his talk very interesting.

By the time you read this, the AGM and cheese and wine will have taken place and the committee and officers elected for next year. Some of you will have also paid your dues and joined for 2014/15. Thank you.

Our next meeting takes place on April 17th and reverts to our usual time of 7.30 pm. The subject is “Droving in the South Midlands” to be given by Bruce Smith.

May sees the return of The Plant Sale-date yet to be fixed.

Other dates for your diary are, Wednesday June 16th a half day trip the Sezincote House and Gardens and Thursday August 14th a day trip to Wilton House and Gardens and Salisbury Cathedral.

More details later.
