We received our copies of MB the day before Birmingham and Denise Hayes, the editor, should be congratulated on yet another bumper edition. Dee works very hard to ensure that deadlines are adhered to. Every time we receive the latest issue we think it can’t get any better! Thank you, Dee.

Entries for the club’s annual photographic competition close on 31st May and there is an entry form inside Monkey Business that contains full details.  There are five categories – Head Study, Photo with Caption, Affen and Friend, Affen at Play and Any Other Photo with Affen. The entry fee is only £1 per person and covers any number of entries. Details are on page 37 of the spring edition of Monkey Business and it does say that an entry form flyer should be enclosed with the issue, although we didn’t receive one.
