"After what seems an eternity since I last went bird spotting, I managed to get myself out to Silverstream 2 afternoons in a row! I can't believe how many kingfishers are around but most of the time, they have been too far away on the powerlines to get decent photos of but it was a bonus today seeing one on a post in the driving range car park!
I have also spent some time watching the pesky blackbirds and waxeyes munch their way through the grapes on the grapevine."

1973-2023 - 50 Glorious years
A seriously special Gala Celebration of
50 wonderful years.
We reconnected with old friends, enjoyed some celebratory bubbles, heard some lovely reflections, and a great keynote speech from Nick Leggett, ate a tasty dinner, enjoyed the company of our Rotary Friendship Exchange visitors from Wisconsin and were delighted to witness the awarding of three well-deserved Paul Harris Fellowships to Nick Leggett, Barbara Nichols and Phillip Reidy.
There will be much more detail to report next week by which time we will hopefully have very many memorable photos to look at in the Gallery. In the meantime, here are just a few important photos from this very special evening.
