Field Day 28th March 2021

The next field day will be on 28th March at the home of Meg Winterford and William Brener, 60 Codrington Lane, near Coraki. Meg and William have two Langstroth hives. The main activities will be to discuss extraction techniques and to inspect those hives. Meg also has an interesting garden.

Bring your beekeeping gear. The club will provide sterilised hive tools and gloves for the demonstrators.

The day will commence at 9.30am with a welcome by the President, and the beekeeping activities will start at 10.30am. Lunch of sausages and salad will be served at about 12.30pm, and the raffle will be held before the end of the day at 1.30pm.

All attendees are asked to bring either a morning tea item or a salad for lunch. As a guide, bring enough for twice the size of your group. Male beekeepers in particular note, we need more salads! Lunch will cost $5.

In the past, the club has always relied on lunch payments and the raffle to provide funds for the operation of the club. So raffle items are always appreciated. Raffle tickets will cost $2, and you could win big.

So, remember to bring

• Salads/morning tea

• Raffle items

• Chairs

• Nametags
