Woodland Inspirations
RSA member Sue Bloomfield began to take daily walks with her dog in Caer Llan Wood, Monmouth. Inspired by the flora and fauna of the woods, she produced a collection of poetry and paintings which she has now published in a book called Woodland Inspirations. Many thanks to Sue for all her efforts in publishing this delightful book and to Professor Dame Carol Black for her contribution. Sue has asked for all the proceeds to be given to the RSA. The book is a hardback and costs £9.99 (plus £1.50 p & p). To order a copy visit: www.custombooks.biz/suebloomfield or contact Sue on: 01647 24840.

At the RSA Conference Andy announced that the World Record had now been approved and he presented the Trustees with a cheque for £10,000 which was raised by the skipping challenge.
