Our main activity is an annual summer Reunion at an interesting conservation site - often a National Nature Reserve. We gather at about mid-day on the first day and visit one site in the afternoon. Boots are changed for glad-rags in the evening when we meet for a very sociable dinner. We visit another local site on the following morning and then depart after lunch. We try to move the annual reunion around the UK, so that England, Scotland and Wales take a turn at hosting the event.
The site visits are generally led by conservation staff or experts in the local region, who are able to explain the interest of each site in detail. And, of course, we can share the many expertises of our former colleagues who come along.
We produce an annual Newsletter, which includes an account of the most recent Reunion, articles about nature conservation, mostly written by members, and news of current and former members. We also send out via email Booking Forms for the annual Reunion event and occasional news bulletins.
Committee
A small band of members form a Committee that decides the venue for forthcoming Reunions. A team of event organisers do all the hard work in exploring the venues in terms of site visits and logistics and make all the arrangements. Dedicated officers manage the Club's finances as well as efforts to attract new members. A small group of members produce the annual Newsletter.
Those currently on the Committee and in Project Teams are:
