Our visit to Brinsley Animal Rescue Centre on 21 July was a great success. Ten members and two guests were given a guided tour and details of the background to many of the animals. Some can be re-homed but it is very difficult to re-home farm animals. John then explained the problems this prolonged dry warm weather is creating and also the effects of the cost of living increases on donations and their expenses. Our Early Birds Meeting is on 7 August, meeting at the Hall at 10am, when we plan a walk to Watnall Spinney followed by coffee and cake. Our evening meeting is on 18 August when we will be Kurling. Contact me at [email protected] for more details if you are interested in joining us for the evening or becoming a member.
