On a stormy evening we held our first meeting in St. Thomas' Church Hall, our new venue, beginning with a brief AGM that saw Julia Coomber standing down after seven years as Chairman and Robert Payne elected as her successor.
With Mike and Mary Mawdsley and John Enfield also standing down from the Committee we are looking to the membership for their replacements!
The scheduled speaker fell victim to the fuel shortages, so we were taken on an illustrated Africa safari across Botswana by Julia's husband, Richard, seeing the wealth of animals and birds to be found there.
