This is a two day meeting and is non-residential so members can come to either or both days. It is a chance to meet members from other groups. The format on the day depends on what people want but normally people splits into groups to survey a specific area or to look at specific taxa. Beginners and experts mix together as a learning experience. There is an optional meeting Sunday afternoon in a local village hall to discuss and collate the finds.
More details nearer the time.
