Details from observations and correspondence in the SPA Meteor Section files from 200 November and December are presented and discussed. A brilliant, possible Taurid, fireball lit up British skies around 19h05m-19h10m UT on November 3-4, as reported from 19 locations, including one in the Netherlands. The Leonid near-maximum epoch was well covered by visual and radio observers, the latter in particular providing some interesting comparisons with the preliminary IMO visual results in [1]. A review of British visual Leonid reports is given, along with some brief recollections of the events from observers. In December, good Geminid radio-visual rates were found on both December 12-13 and 13-14, despite bright moonlight deterring many visual watchers. The results favor a peak on the latter date , much as predicted. Some confirmation of the possible extended Ursid maximum discussed in [2] was found in the radio and visual data from December 22, with perhaps two radio peaks around 5h-7h and 8h-11h UT (visual peaks at appx.=6h and appx.=8h-9h). Visual ZHRs at best were of the order of 20+-5 (6h UT) and 30+-5 (8h-9h UT), moderately enhanced above normal. No evidence supporting the strong outburst around 7h30m UT on December 22 proposed in [2] was detected however.
