Our speaker for the March meeting was Jane Allison who gave a slide show and talk entitled ‘Take a walk on the wild side’. This took us into the countryside, by the sea, canal towpaths and country lanes with a detailed and interesting description of the wild flowers she found and photographed. At the next meeting on 7th April, Vivien will be our speaker with a talk all about Stafford’s Ancient High House. Looking further forward to May we have a talk by Elaine and Julia, The Potty Plotters - featured in Derbyshire Life magazine and on local radio.

Membership of the guild is £15-00 per year.
