The first challenge of our monthly meeting on Mon 08 November was when we found out, the Friday before, that our normal venue, the Cherington Arms in Cherington, has closed!
Fortunately through local knowledge and contacts David Blower was able to book us a room at The George in Brailes whose front dining room was available as they don’t do food on Monday’s. Thank you to The George!
Almost everyone had brought something to show, from the commercial but very useful (thank you George for that queen excluder scraper, definitely buying one of those) to a water bottle on a long stick………
David Blowers’ filtering system for cappings 
…they don’t like it up ’em! Actually a way to collect swarms high up in trees etc. 
Douglas’ honey warmer and feeders 
Judy’s wasp screen for the front of hives 
Lisa’s son made this bespoke toolbox for all her beekeeping equipment
