  • AGM update
    Saturday, November 7, 2020 (All day) to Saturday, November 28, 2020 (All day)

    Unfortunately we had to abort our AGM because of Covid-19.  We are now planning on having it in November and having a smart sit-down dinner at the same time.  We are organising a smart speaker to talk on a smart birding topic that evening after the AGM formalities have been concluded.  Please keep every Saturday in November free for this function when we can socialise properly.
