Indoor Meeting - 15th April
The next indoor meeting on Wednesday 15th April at the WI Hall, Faversham Road, Kennington, will be a talk by Dr Clive Nuttman entitled "Kent's Chalk Grasslands: our Rainforests!" Dr Nuttman, who is a biologist currently working as a freelance environmental educator, has given us many talks in the past. This talk is about the chalk habitats of Kent which are of global diversity importance and introduces the geological history and rich flora and fauna of this unusual environment.
The afternoon starts at 2.30 and finishes by 4.15. Admission is £4 which includes tea/coffee and biscuits. Please bring your own mugs.
There will also be a raffle and all donations are welcome!
