AGM on Thursday, 16th November
The NEWBKA AGM will be held on 16th November 2017 at Hanbury Village Hall, starting at 8pm.
We are looking for new committee members, particularly a new chairman as Tim, the current chairman, is due to step down this year. If anyone is interested in becoming a member of the committee please let me know. Tim is happy to chat to anyone who is interested in the chairman's position.
We would encourage you to attend the AGM and consider becoming a committee member as it is a good chance to have some input into how the Association runs.
We look forward to hearing from interested members.

Secretary NEWBKA

Local honey show
The honey show will be held on Saturday, 9th September 2017, in the hall of Hagley Free Church.
This year, NEWBKA is the host association, so it would be good if there were plenty of entries. Even if you haven't got a lot of honey nor many colonies, why not submit an entry or two; you never know you might win a prize or gain a trophy.
For detailed information select "Honey Show" on the tool bar above.

Social evening 14th August
Just a reminder that there is a social evening organised for next Monday (14th August) at
The Bowling Green ~ Shaw Lane, Stoke Prior, Bromsgrove. B60 4BH
It's an ideal opportunity for you to turn up and chat to fellow beekeepers about how your season has progressed. If my bees are willing to give up some of their stores, I will bring some along for you to have a taste (No judging - just a bit of fun). If you would like to do the same, we could end up with a great session trying to identify what plants our bees have been collecting from. Please try to attend if you can. I will be there from 8 o'clock in the front snug.
Looking forward to seeing you there
