Details from notes and observations reported to the SPA Meteor Section from April to June 2002 are given, with some discussion. Highlights included a cluster of four bright fireballs on April 6/7 and 7/8, the best-seen of which was at 00h28m UT on April 6/7. This was observed from UK, Belgium and the Netherlands. Its probable trajectory passed from the English Midlands to the East Yorkshire coast, with any meteorites ending up in the North Sea, if so. A relatively weak Lyrid maximum was suggested around 8h+-2h UT on April 22 (solar longitude(eq. 2000.0)=32.0+-0.08 deg). Some radio pi-Puppids may have been detected too, possibly with a peak on April 23 or 24. The eta-Aquarid maximum probably fell as expected on May 5/6, perhaps with ZHRs app. 45+-17, as with the Lyrids, giving a lesser radio signature than might have been hoped for. Radio interference problems in June created numerous difficulties, but the Arietid and zeta-Perseid maxima probably happened on June 8 and 10/11 respectively. No June Lyrid or June Bootid activity was clearly apparent visually or by radio. Two bright fireballs were seen on June 21/22 and 22/23 from Britain, and the beta-Taurid peak seems to have occurred roughly to time on June 27 or 28, but no evidence for the possible Taurid Complex `swarm' return in 2002 June was noted.
