Members Autumn Walk – 1st November 2025
This will be the usual afternoon walk, heading into the Study Area and onto Pintail Bank to look for fungi. We will then walk over to Whillets Meadows and to the reed bed to observe Reed Buntings coming in to roost.
Meet in the Hide car park at the west end of the reservoir at 1.30pm. We aim to finish by 4.00pm. Stout footwear recommended or wellies if we have had a prolonged spell of wet weather. If weather conditions force us to cancel we will let you know by e-mail and through our Facebook page.
Annual General Meeting – 13th March 2026
Our 29th Annual General Meeting will be held on Friday 13th March 2026. We will be in the Forest Row Community Centre with a 7.15pm start time as usual. We are very pleased to announce that Mark Mallalieu OBE has agreed to be our guest speaker after the AGM. He will talk about the Honey Buzzards and Goshawks of Sussex. Both species are seen at Weir Wood so this is bound to be an interesting talk. Mark will be known to many members not least for his sterling work as the (recently retired) editor of the excellent annual bird report produced by the Sussex Ornithological Society.
Further details will follow in the winter newsletter.
