| Moths – the Weird and the
Wonderful Saturday 3rd August |
|
This is a magical chance to see a wide range of moths close up in a location near the Abbey. They will have been trapped overnight and we will be able to view them under the guidance of Tim Norriss, who was Moth Recorder for Hampshire. As they begin to warm up in the morning, before taking flight, he will identify the moths and tell us about them. Children over the age of 8 are welcome to attend under close supervision of a parent/ grandparent/guardian. Places are limited to 20. Use the link below to book and see the most up to date details. |

| Saturday 7th September, 10:00 to 13:00 |
|
The Society will be hosting an Open Day in the Court Room of the Town Hall between 10.00am and 1.00pm on Saturday 7th September, both for members and for the public in general. This will be a free exhibition showing how Romsey has developed and changed over the past 50 years and outlining some of the ways the Society has influenced this. There will also be an opportunity for people to tell us how they would like to see the town change in the future and what they might like the society to be doing over the next 50 years. Tea, coffee and cake will be available and we hope members will join us and invite their neighbours, friends and family to join us too. |
