The GNS 75th anniversary celebration took place at The Folk in Gloucester on 8 November 2023. Many thanks to everyone who attended and to The Folk and its volunteers for hosting the event.
Members enjoyed local sparkling wine, cheese, apples and apple juice and were able to view an exhibition of wildlife photographs from the Society’s previous competitions. After the welcome address from the chairman Mervyn Greening, and a retrospective from Mike Smart who is an ex-chairman and possibly the longest-standing member, the cake was cut by GNS president Anna Ball. There was a toast to GNS’s next 75 years and the evening continued with much friendly chatting, everyone pleased to be able to meet in person after the covid years.
The exhibition of wildlife photographs will remain in place until mid-January and can be visited whenever The Folk is open.
