| | | 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

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.

Pauline | 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!
