Planning winter meetings

[Heather]

We have to start thinking of winter meeting themes and I am looking to the forum to come up with new interesting ideas to educate, interest and involve the members who meet in a village hall.
What have your Assoc done that was a memorable evening in the bee keeping world?? - keep it clean

Beekeeping themed quiz, and you could add some general knowledge as well.

MM has some good questions (OK, some need a good deal of 'tweaking') on his recent thread.

Try a pollen analysis evening. Bring a sample of honey and find out what plants it was made from.

Lawks, will have to start learning myself first.....Maybe the Honey judge will have the know how... a local lady.

Go round the room and ask all members to say what made them decide to start beekeeping.

Ask yourself is your chosen evening a suitable one for all?

I have to turn down speaking invites for mid week... busy time for myself.

No time will be good for all though, sometimes as an organiser you just have to go with a date.

Heather,
Our association has had a few good ones, such as swarm control with contributors demonstrating the theory with equipment, such as pagdon and snellgrove.

We had three demo's of queen rearing with a follow up meeting later in the year.
