Dan Foreman talk to be rearranged

Unfortunately talk by Dr Dan W Foreman on "The ecology and conservation of the African Wild Dog " due to take place tonight (Jan 25th 2011) had to be cancelled at short notice due to Dan being unwell (we wish him a speedy recovery)

Dan has offered to present his talk in the near future and the indoor meetings secretary is looking into opportunities to slot another indoor meeting into the spring programme

We apologise to members who had hoped to see the talk tonight and hope that they enjoyed the stand in entertainment enough to warrant a trip out on a winters evening
