The Annual General Meeting of the Club was held on 18th March at Kent Wildlife Trust's HQ Tyland Barn. Aterwards, the attendees enjoyed the President's Address from Dick Vane-Wright on 'Mimicry - with some reference to British Insects' and presentations on the Shrill Carder Bee Recovery Project from Rosie Earwaker and the Wild Orchids of Kent by David Johnson

On 15th March, Kent Field Club was amongst the many organisations represented at Kent Wildlife Trust's 'Wake Up The Season' event marking the launch of this year's Wild About Gardens Awards scheme (http://www.kentwildlifetrust.org.uk/discover-learn/wild-about-gardens-awards). This occasion enables new and existing volunteers, who provide advice to gardeners and visit entrants, to meet each other, awards sponsors and other relevant organisations and to share knowledge and ideas. The event was very busy and this year's scheme is already shaping up to be one of the biggest yet.

Total monthly rainfall was 55 millimetres with a maximum daily rainfall of 8 mm on the 9th of February. Rainfall figures include contributions from the heavy snowfalls of the 26th to 28th, and minimally from the light flurries of the 4th and 5th. Recordable rain fell on 15 days of the month.

Total monthly rainfall was 96.5 mm with a maximum daily rainfall of 10.5 mm on the 4th of January.

During the month recordable rain fell on 20 days, and there were 17 days with full cloud cover. This had a beneficial effect on our pond-levels, and gives us a chance of full ponds by springtime.
