AT the June meeting, members met at the village hall for a talk and slide show by John Clews from the Royal Society for the protection of Birds.
He spoke of how the Society began in 1889, called the Plume and Feather Club, to protect birds from having their feathers taken for decorative purposes. Then in 1904 they became the RSPB. They now have one million members.
