A selection of Jim Moir's superb slides of the white lion cubs

At our January meeting we were delighted to welcome Jim and Alison Moir. Andy Hoad came along to help set up the technology ( thank you, Andy), and then Jim treated us to a fascinating presentation about African wildlife. He shared not only his expertise as a photographer (awesome!), but his great affection for and knowledge of the wildlife of a private reserve in Southern Africa with which he and Alison have been associated for many years. He was warmly thanked by Lesley White on behalf of the members, and we all agreed the presentation had given our 60th year a marvellous start - the white lion cubs were definitely the "icing on the cake".
