On 13th of November 2025, 7:30-9:30pm, Sam Mugford of the John Innes Centre will talk about aphids and other sap-sucking insects, especially about many fascinating aspects of their biology, including (but not limited to) their curious sex-lives and extraordinary toilet habits. Hopefully, the audience will come away seeing these bugs as more than just a nuisance in the garden.

And on the 11th of December, 7:30-9:30pm, Mike and Pam Merrick will deliver their illustrated talk, ‘Traveller's Tree Tales: Colourful Caribbean Wildlife’.

The photo is of a Traveller’s Tree Palm taken earlier this year in Guadeloupe. Some of the audience may have read Patrick Leigh Fermor’s book “The Traveller’s Tree – A Journey through the Caribbean Islands” on which Mike and Pam have based their title.

Both events will take place at the Town Green Centre, Wymondham, NR18 0PW (behind the Methodist Church).

All welcome - admission £3, NWT members £2 – and no need to book.
