PROPOSED WEEKEND FIELD TRIP 2009

     It looks highly likely that there will be a Group Weekend Trip in 2009, negotiations are close to being finalised. 
      The Weekend will be; Friday 15th, Saturday 16th, and Sunday 17th May 2009. We are booked in at the Cedars Hotel at Stowmarket, where we have stayed previously. We will be visiting Lakenheath Fen, Minsmere, and Lackford Lakes, in that order. There is no price fixed for the weekend yet, that will be announced as soon as details are available. Paul Goodwin, who is organising the weekend, will be looking to take bookings at the October Indoor Meeting, along with a deposit, which will also be decided before October. If anyone is interested they can contact Paul on 0114 201 7089, between 6 and 9pm if possible.

FUND RAISING 2007 - 2008

This year we are aiming to raise £5000 towards the provision of a new hide at Old Moor Reserve and a return path from this hide to the visitor centre to make a circular walk instead of an lengthy "out and back" path. By the end of 2007 we had paid over £2000, so a bit of hard work is required to achieve our target.

MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY

      Paul Goodwin our Membership Secretary had to resign due to work schedules. The new Secretary is Richard Brown whose contact details are given on the Organisation page.

WALKS

     Information on walks held in 2007 is shown at the bottom of the "Walks" page.
