A one day wildflower photographic workshop on May 1st. Covering all aspects of selecting your subject, composing the picture and using your camera.  With field work in Beer Wood. Led by John Bebbington FRPS. Cost £10 .

Sunday 10th April we enjoyed a sunny walk in Beer Wood seeing the bluebells , early purple orchids and the unusual Toothwort and much more. Butterflies were also enjoying the sunshine.
