Folks



The next meeting of our group will be on Thursday at the usual time and place: 7.30 to 9.00 at the Bestwood Lodge Hotel. We will once again be joined by Ranger Jon Berry. As agreed last time I have cleared the agenda of all but the most essential items so that we can focus on the main topic: The History of The Park and the Estate. Please bring along any material you may have that speaks to the history of the Park so that we can get a good sense of what resources we have between us.



Ken has opened up a new heading on the website for “Area History.” No postings so far. It may be useful if you have time, to repost some of our older contributions into that part of the site to make it easier to locate source material.



If you haven’t visited the website recently there have been some WONDERFUL new contributions including photographs of a stoat in pursuit of a rabbit and a robin giving a blackbird a bad time! There are some excellent photos of Nuthatches and Tree Creepers and the first (overdue?) reports this year of Waxwings in the area. Do have a look!

See you on Thursday.
