On 11th September, we were lucky enough to have a talk from Nick Townsend on "South Milton's Wildlife Havens".  It was a fascinating insight into the work done to maintain and improve this important habitat and Nick also organised a guided walk  on a stunning afternoon a couple of weeks later.

For our meeting on 9th October,  it's David Curry who you will remember came last year and talked about re-wilding churchyards on behalf of Exeter Diocese.  This time his subject is Traditional English Orchards and he is quite an authority apparently.  I asked if he did apple identification for people who didn't know the variety they might have in their gardens and he said no he doesn't but he can recommend a very good website.  We hope lots of you will come along to hear his talk.  We hope to have the details of the Christmas Lunch to circulate that afternoon.

The final meeting in the hall will be on 13th November when it will be a case of "Let's get Quizzical"!   Dulcie and Lindy will be  organising a fun afternoon so be prepared to get into teams of four and give Mastermind a run for its money!

Everyone is welcome to our meetings - feel free to bring a friend or two!  £3.00 per person plus £1 for a raffle ticket.  Please let us know if you have any special dietary requirements: all reasonable requests catered for!
