Today's meetings started at Hanningfield Reservoir, catching up with Andy.

The reservoir covers 880 acres and was formed by flooding the ancient hamlet of Peasdow, Giffords Farm and Fremnells Manor. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a bird sanctuary with a nationally important population of gadwalls, and it also has significant numbers of pochards, teal, tufted ducks and pintails. The chalk sludge lagoon has several unusual plants, including golden dock and marsh dock, and there is a rare moss Brachythecium mildeanum at the foot of the southern dam.

I don't know what any of these things are, but it was a good meeting in a great cafe with a fantastic view.
