Group meetings in February

1:00pm Tuesday 7th February 2012 in Charity By Bob Tompkins

Chris Gooddie will be the speaker at our next indoor meeting on Wednesday 8 February. The meeting, at the Stanborough Centre at Stanborough Park Church, 609 St Albans Road Watford WD25 9JL, will start at 8pm. Entry costs £3, including light refreshments and all are welcome. Chris’s talk will be about his “Pitta Mission”, which was to see all 32 species of pitta in one year. This led him into many exciting adventures, as he recounts in his book The Jewel Hunter. The pittas are a colourful family of tropical forest birds, found in the Indian sub-continent, South East Asia, Australia and Africa.

Our next local John Hurrell walk is on Thursday 16 February at Maple Lodge and Wood Oaks Farm, meeting at the Maple Lodge Sports and Social Club car park at 10am.
