This months speaker is Matthew Davison and Steven Kay on the subject of Winter Preparation.
Winter is just around the corner so it’s time to start preparing your colonies for the
winter ahead. Ian will tell us what tasks need to be done and why, to give our
colonies the best chance of survival over the winter, no matter Mother Nature may
throw at us.
Meeting will be held at Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter to start at 7pm.

New members welcome as well as anyone interested in finding out more
