The Berwickshire Naturalists' Club AGM on 26th October was well attended, with reports confirming that the Club is in good shape financially and with a growing membership.  The day started with a well informed guided walk around the Berwick Walls, and a talk in the Parish Church. This concluded the 2023 programme of field trips, which had included a visit to the Trimontium Museum in Melrose; a private tour of Carolside Gardens; a visit to Ancrum hosted by the local Ancrum and District Heritage society; a day at Woodhorn; and a walk at St Abb's Head Nature Reserve, supported by the National Trust ranger.  The outgoing President, Richard Blake, gave a fascinating lecture, taking members on a journey along the Papana Waters running through East Lothian to the coast. Brian Payne now takes on the role of President, and Peter Macdonald was elected as Vice President.   The 2024 programme is now being planned, and the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club will continue to welcome new members in the coming year.
