Lunchtime Meeting - 12.45pm - Speakers John and Mike Cleaver

Mon, Feb 1st 2016 at 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm

John and his son Mike introduce us to Mike's lifelong interest in butterflies


Today, John brought along his son Mike to share with us something of his life's obsession with butterflies.

Starting as a youngster, Mike had a fascination with butterflies and read about them, visited museum galleries and collected other people's collections - Mike does not catch and preserve butterflies himself.

Clearly passionately engaged by his subject, Mike spoke to the group about the wide range and size of butterflies that there are in the world, illustrating his points with his slideshow and the display boxes he had brought with him.

This was obviously a subject that the Cleaver family had enjoyed together over the years and one which Mike will continue.
