Our Autumn/Winter series of talks has now begun and we will let you know nearer the time how to enjoy each of these, ie whether they will be on Zoom or in person.  All depends on the COVID situation.

​All meetings are free for members, and if via Zoom the link will be emailed a few days in advance.  Guests are also warmly invited to join us - contact us for instructions on paying the guest fee of £2 and receiving the link.  There are opportunities to comment and ask questions.

You can download a PDF of the full 2021/22 programme, including Young Nature Watch, here.
