Thursley 2008

Just to let folk know that just into the new year (on this thread) I will be suggesting a 2008 meet at Thursley Common. After this year's success, it would be nice to get the old Pork Pie Posse and any WAB members that would like a great day out together, to see some incredible dragonflies, invertebrates, reptiles and birds that the common has as residents.

Chris and I will definitely be going and the best time is late June, early July. So watch this space and if you think you may have a bit of free time then do come along. ALL welcome.

Jules

Summer 2006.

It's not too far from me so I could be persuaded. Have to collect my eldest from uni on the last Saturday in June (28th) but other dates around then should be fine.

Re: Thursley 2008

Cheers Jules but I hope to have got at least one at Dunwich on my next visit there.

If not there is a BF meet on April 27th / 28th that has been organised and hopefully I am attending that as well.

I have yet to fail to get Dartfords there yet but if I do I will send you a couple of nails to pin one down at Thursley if I can make it.

Panic ye not young Pauline. Nothing is set in stone! I'll set out a range of possible dates and we'll head for the one that suits the many.

What we do need to order up however, is a right decent summer with LOADS of inverts for us to drool over!

Nice one Ben, as long as it falls right for work because my holidays days are fixed for next year as they are built into this new system we start in April next year.
