Winter meetings

During winter when we can’t get into our bees because of the cold we cluster at the Darby & Joan Club in Cottingham generally on the first Monday of each month. We also offer occasional Zoom meetings.

Feel free to come along and join us. We have interesting speakers, a raffle, the library, tea and biscuits and a host of other things going on.
