The February meeting on the 5th had been arranged to have Padraic Horkan give a talk on plants, shrubs and flowers for the garden, Padraic unfortunately is unavailable, instead in his place on the night Gerry and Mary Ryan have agreed to come and give a talk on ‘Spring Management for your Hive and Hives’. They will also tell us what we need to do if we are thinking of bringing our hives to benefit from the Oilseed Rape!
We will be presenting the last of the beginner’s certificates to people who have not received them to date, come along if you have not got yours yet.
I am taking names of people that want to do, or re-do the Beginners course this year, taking place over the weekend of 23/24th March in Westport.
Membership: Last chance to pay your membership (€50 each and €20 for associate members) Please put in a sealed envelope with all your details with it, this will be the address that the “An Beachaire” will be posted to. This is the 4th meeting of the year and we still have a lot of members to collect money for membership from. Please bring it to this meeting. Every member from last year should be getting a copy of the magazine “An Beachaire” which has arrived already this month; you should have received last months as well. It was arranged by the FIBKA that the first two magazines would be sent out to all last year’s members to give a chance to the existing members pay their membership by February, if your membership is not paid your name will be deleted from the “An Beachaire” postal list.
If you cannot attend the meeting, please post a cheque made out to Westport Beekeepers as soon as possible!
For updating contact information: If there are any changes to your address, e-mail address or telephone numbers please give me the new details.
A large turnout is expected for this meeting so come early to get a seat!
We still have a few jars of club honey for sale if you want some ring Dermot before meeting.
Thanks.
Secretary:
Dermot Ó Flaherty.
