Sylvia Sheldon gave a talk on ‘Seasons in the Wyre Forest’ at the February meeting.

There were some lovely slides to see, and seasonal pictures showing vegetation and creatures that live within the forest.

Chris Bradley accompanied Sylvia showing slides of the fallow deer and bucks that roam the woods. The deer can be identified individually by their spot markings or their antler shapes.

It certainly made the audience appreciate what’s on our doorstep and what a beautiful part of the country we live in.

The club meets on the fourth Wednesday in the calendar month at Clows Top Victory Hall. Doors open 7.45pm, for the speaker at 8pm and there are refreshments, raffle and a plant stall. Non-members are very welcome to meetings but membership is only £5 pa.
