The meeting had an island theme...

Guest speaker, Bert Walker, gave a talk about a holiday in the Chatham Islands.

We couldn’t let the occasion go by without reminding everyone about our beautiful islands off the coast of Cornwall – The Isles of Scilly. A video had Julia Bradbury on a 5-mile circular walk of St Martin’s, before island-hopping to Tresco..
