I was recently railroaded <G> into the post of vice-president
of our local bee club (The Niagara Regional Beekeepers Association)
( I avoided being President by nominating someone else...;)
and am looking for ideas to spice up our meetings.  Recently they
have consisted of a general discussion of beekeeping, which sometimes
digresses into politics or the weather, then after coffee there is
"show and tell" where Gord shows one of his many inventions...;)
It's always entertaining, but I think we could improve the meetings a bit.
 
I was wondering if John could give some more details of the above,
and if anyone else has some unique ideas.  Next month we are showing
a video and the Provincial Apiarist is coming.  I understand a recent issue
of Bee Culture has an article on this topic and I have just ordered a
subscription and some back issues.
