Next Indoor Meeting - Wednesday 2nd September 2015.

Hello

I am very happy to announce that our speaker at the next indoor meeting of the club on Wednesday 2nd September 2015 will be Dr Mark Avery. Mark provided a presentation in January this year which was very well received and since then he has been very busy publicising the effects of Wildlife Crime and particularly the demise of the Hen Harrier as a breeding species in England. Mark is the author of the recently released book 'Inglorious' and joint author of 'Behind the Binoculars' also recently released. It is likely that Mark will have a small stock of both publications for sale on the night.

The subject of the presentation will be associated with the on-going conflict on the wild uplands of the UK, where the effects of grouse-shooting continues to have a devastating effect on the fortunes of other British wildlife, and no doubt we will be involved in some lively discussions which our guest speaker will be happy to provide a point of view!

As usual the meeting will commence at 7.30pm at our venue of the Fishing Lodge, Pitsford Reservoir, Brixworth Road, Holcot, NN6 9SJ. Hot drinks and biscuits will be available and everyone is welcome!

Neil McMahon
