In August we heard Chris Trunan’s talk DABs and DNA, about how police use forensic science and how his Job on the forensic team has changed over the years. It was extremely interesting and well presented. We had a lovely end of summer walk through Hatfi eld Forest and of course sampled the refreshments at the café. Tuesday October 16th our speaker is Bernadette Merry talking about scam awareness a subject we of which we all need to be aware. On Tuesday 20th November Alyson Bailey’s talk is on Guide Dogs and is bringing a dog with her!
