  Meeting   The group has relatively local weekday monthly outings with periodic weekday trips further afield.

Our next outing is to Pennington Flash. Anne and I went last Thursday and had an interesting walk in lovely sunshine.  Let's hope the weather is kind for the 17th.  Directions are included below.  It takes 40 to 50 minutes to reach the reserve from Carol's house.

We hope to see you on Thursday.
