In most of the warmer months we organise at least one outing. The dates and times for outings will vary depending on the nature of the trip; it is, for example, tricky to have a bat walk between 2.00 and 4.00 pm! Press the "Ad hoc Meetings" button above to see what we are currently planning. The cost of these outings varies, and they are paid for individually by those who book to attend.
