Hi everyone, Further to David's email, I believe that the website is the best way to attract more members, and at the moment it does leave a lot to be desired....
I see the weaknesses in the website, Sarah, although I don't think that there is need for a major and expensive overall rehash. I see three problems, two of...

Did the council explain its reasoning for insisting that the group confine itself to E&E business? It would seem that this would only be a sensible thing on...

Hello, David. The beetle certainly looks chrysomelid but not enough detail for me to give a guess. To the best of my knowledge, gall-formers are predominantly...
Another difficulty for the E&E section is that most speakers would now expect to give powerpoint presentations; but the LNHS doesn't have a projector so has to...
We are in the process of buying a projector and PC. We always welcome guests to our meetings, at least that is what I always say. Mick. ... [Non-text portions...
Paul, a few comments below. ... Not sure on the process for suggesting LNHS buys one, although I note that Mick has recently purchased a Heath trap so...
