This is when we do not hold a formal meeting but instead visit an apiary. Further details will be announced shortly. Places are usually booked as places are restricted depending on the size of the apiary and site. Please contact Liz to book a place.
Members bring food to share at a picnic.
After looking into hives members enjoy a chat while enjoying a drink and food.
