The first meeting of the re-formed Kidderminster branch was held in September, when chairman Jim Winsper explained the working of a branch, emphasising the need for an elected committee.

The October meeting took the form of an illustrated talk entitled The Changing Fortune in Britain, and after his talk he encouraged people to volunteer for the committee.

The first branch committee meeting was held on November 6.

The next meeting will be a talk and slide show entitled The Birds of England and Norway, by Gerry Griffiths of Avian Adventures.

This will be on Wednesday (nov 28), at Offmore Community Centre, starting at 7.30pm.

Anyone interested in birdlife will be welcome - there will be a nominal admission fee.
