The second member’s night of the year. Over 200 members enjoyed
an Indian summer evening. With displays of the 100 club, raffle
and a “where on the park ?” photo competition and lots
of BBQ food and wine members are entertained before the start of
the evening. The theme was the circle of life, and each section
was lead by a cameo performance by volunteer Jan Jacobs and his
display boards. It featured a first public appearance by Kipling,
who proceeded to put everyone off their BBQ with table manners at
feed time. It also featured first time appearances by some of our
new young birds including: a pair of yellow billed kites, Tolkien
the Milky Eagle Owl and “Goose” the Bateleur Eagle.
The evening rounded off with our Research Students reviewing their
work and results for us.
