Queueing for the barbecue	Flying displays
Jimmy's guess the species competition

The first Members' Night of the year. Over 300 people attended and enjoyed the normal competitions and raffle over a BBQ supper and wine. The evening displays featured new birds in training, and gave staff who do not normally commentate on demonstrations the opportunity to take the mike. The highlight of the evening was Jimmy interspersing the displays with the "guess the mammal and bird species" by guessing the improvised mating displays as acted out by the bird staff. The evening ended with Chief Scientific Officer bringing everyone up to date on the repatriating of the White Headed Vultures to Africa.
