The traps are left out for 24-36 hours before checking, emptying and identifying the contents. Our start at the end of April was during the coldest spell for some time. The miserable weather limited the number and variety of “victims” that we caught. Our main interest is in insects, but we caught precious few of these. Our specimens were mainly made up of slugs, woodlice, millipedes, spiders and the odd ant. We also had a few specimens, which could only be classified as “what on earth is that”. We think some of these tiny creatures, about 1-2mm long, were Springtails or Collembola. These are not true insects, but they live in the soil in huge numbers. They are very difficult to identify and an ecologist colleague of ours said an electron microscope is needed to identify them down to species level. He wished us the best of luck. A project for the future, perhaps? For more information about our activities on Down Grange Meadow, please call Marion Wolstencroft on (01256) 470171.

CIVIL SERVICE RETIREMENT FELLOWSHIP This month’s talk was from Alan Grace titled “Amazing Berlin 1914 – 1989” which he illustrated with many photographs, recordings and artefacts from the period. He covered the rampant inflation after WW1, the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Olympics of 1936 before moving on to WW2 followed by the death of Hitler. He then went on to give details of the blockade by the Russians from June 1948 to May 1949 and the airlift which ended it and also the difference in life between East and the West of the wall and what it meant when it was eventually dismantled in November 1989.

The next meeting is on 6th June which is our Open Meeting when there will be a buffet and anyone is welcome to come and join us. The speaker will be Paul Whittle on Traveller’s Tales. The group meets on the first Wednesday of each month at Brookvale Village Hall from 10 am to 12 noon and all retired Civil Servants and their partners are welcome. Further details about meetings and outings can be obtained from the Secretary Tony Brazier on 01256 418770 (Answerphone) David Cowling
