Since we restarted meeting in person, at the beginning of September the number attending each time has gradually risen. A clear demand from members and visitors to meet up in spacious surroundings has therefore been demonstrated despite the ongoing pandemic risks. In consequence it has been decided to recommence our traditional pattern of weekly meetings. The programme until the end of the year can be found here: Talks Sept 2021-Dec 2021.
Unfortunately, Mike Richards is unwell, and his talk on Humour in the Police Force will now be given to the Exeter Forum after the Christmas break.
Instead, TOMORROW, Wednesday 6 October, John Davidson will give a talk titled Rewilding - Will it save our wildlife? Many species in the UK are in decline and the idea of rewilding places has received considerable attention in the last 20 years. This talk will look at what rewilding means, and what is involved in rewilding a landscape. Plans to introduce missing species such as beavers and large predators like the wolf or lynx will be discussed. The talk will also consider the importance of rewilding (or wilding) smaller areas in cities like Exeter or in rural areas and why human intervention may be required to help natural processes. With the Government having decided to remove most movement and distancing restrictions, Forum's Committee came to the view that was time to restart physical meetings at the Mint from the beginning of September. At first this will be on an experimental basis so we can judge whether the numbers of members willing to brave mixing in the City to and from The Mint and within the Mint itself was enough to make the extra costs of live meetings worthwhile. For the time being the meetings are being held fortnightly. The hope is, of course, that before long it will be right to revert to our traditional pattern of weekly meetings.
