Meal & Talk at the Arundel. Speaker Host - Mike Smith, General Host - Alan Shipp, Cashier - Maureen. Chair PP Duncan Hannay Robertson.
Today we welcomed Kristin to our club with interest.
She is a very enthusiastic and eloquent ambassador for this important african charity.
They do a great deal to support local communities near the major african National Parks to reduce poaching and the slaughter of the majestic wildlife. They support the eradication of the huge ivory and rhino horn trade. They work internationally and bring together a wide variety of politicians and other charities etc. They fundraise by running Conservation Safaris in eg Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda based in the glorious lodges now available. Have you always wanted to see animals like Lions and Mountain Gorillas in their home habitats ?
Get in touch with the AWF ! Next dates for a Safari are in Feb 2019.
