A little late ( as will be the next post) but definitely worth recording as a TVGS contribution. Friends of Bishopswood asked TVGS to be at their show for families and children and so we were!

Bob Allison and self set up our usual display with Bob bringing (part) of his fine minerals and fossils collection.  The event was well attended, over 100, and much intense activity took place.  As well as the dino trail, we recorded half a dozen pastimes that fascinated the children–their enthusiasm knows no bounds.  We made new contacts and importantly learned a good deal about simple geological and palaeontological fun activities to educate children.  Many of these were developed through the originality and creativity of the ‘Friends’ committee. Bob gave a short talk on local geology.

If you don’t know Bishopswood, one of Worcestershire County Council’s young persons’ facilities but used for all sorts of activities for adults too, then it is worth a visit.  See HERE for overview details, HERE for location map and HERE for Friends of Bishopswood web site and programme.
