BREAKING NEWS
Coach Trip to WWT Martinmere. As can be noted from the programme, there is a coach trip to WWT Martinmere on Sunday, 10th December 2023. Due to the cost increases we are all affected by, I am unsure of the amount it will be to hire a coach. I therefore would be grateful if all those members interested in coming on this trip, could book their place(s) as soon as is convenient. Once I have the numbers I can book a coach, maybe a smaller coach than normal. I can then decide on the amount to charge, but in reality, I believe I may have to charge £20.00 per person. I am sure that members will understand these proposals, and continue to support this venture and enjoy a great day’s birding at a supreme reserve. Sue Brealey.

Field Trip Organiser Post Vacancy. The Society needs someone urgently to take on the role of Field Trips Organiser. It must be reiterated that, if this role is not filled, there will be no Field Trips being run by the Society, a role which is required by our constitution. Please note that the Organiser does not necessarily lead field trips. She/he sets up the programme and finds appropriate leaders for each excursion. If anyone wants details of the role, do not hesitate to email Sue Brealey at fieldtrips@shropshirebirds.co.uk. [0310]
