**If you were following The Spider Club Facebook page last year you will remember that Joanie is the lady who revived Angel the baboon spider that had been stung by a wasp. Joanie has invited us to visit all 18 baboon spider burrows at their house!
Keep your eyes on your e-mail and our Facebook page as other events may be organised, sometimes at short notice. We will attempt to give you fair warning. And remember that Norman Larsen is at the Cape Union Mart Adventure Centre, Canal walk in Cape Town every Saturday 11h00–12h00 to demonstrate and talk about SPIDERS!
