Mayor is guest at club milestone event

3:37pm Monday 5th May 2008

MAYOR Mike Shellie was the special guest at Kidderminster Field Club's 80th birthday lunch at Bodenham Arboretum.

In his speech, president, George Billinge, reminded the guests of the club's past presidents, many of whom were significant figures in the public life and commerce of the town.

Mrs Heather Hobbs, a member for more than 40 years and a former president, cut the birthday cake.

Before the lunch, club members were able to enjoy a walk round the Bodenham estate and later in the day a coach tour through Corve Dale and to Titterstone Clee.

The club was formed in 1928 by a small group interested in geology and history. Today it has a large membership.

There are monthly talks during the winter months and in the spring and summer outings to places of geological and historical interest. New members are always welcome.
