SOS AGM 2008
Tuesday, 04 March 2008

The Society's AGM will be held on Saturday, 26 April at Henfield Hall.   The bar will be open for drinks, tea and coffee from 7pm and the formal AGM starts at 7.30pm.  (And if it runs true to form the formal business will be over by about 8pm).  There will then be another half-hour to socialise and catch up with friends before our talk for the evening.   This is entitled "Big Ideas for a Small Reserve" and will be given by WWT Arundel Reserve Manager James Sharpe, and Operations Manager, Paul Stevens.   James and Paul will set out their vision for reserve management at the Arundel Wetland Centre over the next five years and I know that they will welcome feedback from ourselves on their plans.
 
The AGM gives you a chance to find out what your Society has been doing over the past year and to put any questions you may have to the Society's Officers, and it will finish with what promises to be a very interesting talk.   It should also be a very sociable evening.  So we hope to see as many members as possible on 26 April and we especially hope to see a few of you who have not been to an AGM before.  Do make a note of the date in your diary and do come along.

A reminder with directions to Henfield Hall will be posted a little closer to the time.

New Year Bird Race - More News
Monday, 11 February 2008

With just a few days to go before the closing date for entries, the massive total of 121 species from the Bald Eagles is still well in the lead, and it's great to report that the total money raised to date now stands at £857.

This will go a considerable way towards the £1000 committed by the Society for Tree Sparrow boxes and winter feeding to help this very vulnerable species.

SOS New Year Bird Race Update
Sunday, 20 January 2008

A new record has been set this year by the Bald Eagles (Richard Ives, Dorian Mason and Dave Smith) with an astonishing total of 121 species - which didn't include Bullfinch and Green Sandpiper!  So far, donations and sponsorship received total £476.50, and there is more to come, to go towards nest boxes for Tree Sparrows and Redstarts. 

Well done everyone who has contributed, and to the teams, all of whom very much enjoyed their race days
