A most enjoyable night last Tuesday, back at Avoncroft after the summer break. Good to see so many familiar faces, but also to see some new ones who had come to check us out. I know that at least 3 new members signed up on the night, so welcome to anyone reading this newsletter for […]

Thanks to everyone that came to help out on the High Street Stall yesterday. It’s hard to know how successful it was – I guess the proof of the pudding will be whether any potential new members turn up on Tuesday – but it was fun chatting to the public – and to other BPS

ust got back from a week in Scotland and the Lake District, so this Vocal Point is a little late while I try to catch up on all the BPS news. From what I hear the Dine India meal on Tuesday was a great success as usual – many thanks to Beks for arranging it.

A short one this week as (a) I’m on holiday and (b) there’s not quite so much to say. Thanks to everyone that helped make the BBQ on Tuesday a success. The rain stayed away just long enough, so special thanks to Ele for sorting that… You should have seen emails from Ele regarding the

It’s been quite a busy week for the BPS summer programme, and lots of other stuff to talk about, so this might be a bit longer than usual. The Chinese meal in Evesham last Tuesday was enjoyed by all that attended, as far as I can tell from the reports I have received – I’m

It’s been another busy week for BPS members on the summer programme, with a trip to Trench Wood last Tuesday and a trip to Chasewater yesterday. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to go to Trench Wood, but I am told it was well attended. There were 8 or 9 of us at Chasewater, and I think

Last week’s trip to Worcester old cemetery was very well attended – by photographers at least, if not by wildlife, which seemed a little scarce. However, I did get to see a fox, a spider eating a bee, and some very delicious blackberries. Those who went equipped for non-wildlife shots got some great photos of

It was great to see so many of you at Wild Goose nature reserve yesterday. There were not quite as many insects as last year, but still a good selection – I’m still sorting through all my photos. It’s a really good place to visit for anyone that likes photographing insects (or enjoys nice food!)

Just time between the end of the tennis and the start of the football to write this week’s Vocal Point… The summer programme continued today with a most enjoyable outing to Dudmaston Hall – another local destination that I hadn’t been to before. Many thanks to David J for organising it. Next up we have

The summer programme continued last Tuesday with a trip to Malvern – including the Priory church which is really quite spectacular and somewhere I hadn’t visited before. Thanks to Jan for organizing it. Next outing on the summer programme is on Saturday, July 13th, visiting Dudmaston Hall near Bridgnorth. Again, somewhere I have not been
