Hello there, I'm speaking to all our wildlife explorer members and their parents/grandparents here.

Just in case you hadn't heard, we have had to change February's club meeting from the third Saturday to the fourth Saturday to allow for a special activity we'll be running. Times remain the same from 11 am -  1pm.

This means February's date will now be Saturday 27 February, and the theme is "Be a Wildlife Photographer for the day!"

Calling all budding young photographers! Tom Mason, wildlife photographer, is running a special Wildlife Explorer’s club, teaching all about how to take great pictures of wildlife. We will also learn about camera traps and how they work. Make sure you bring your camera as we will be going outside and learning from Tom’s experience. We then give you until 16 March to try out your new skills at home and out and about, to take some excellent wildlife photos. Choose your best 5 and enter them into our junior photography competition by bringing them in at March’s meeting or emailing them to debs.allbrook@rspb.org.uk. They will then be judged by Tom, and winners announced at April’s Funday/ Wex club on Saturday 16 April. 

Wildlife Explorer's Club is always very popular, and we anticipate this to be a very busy session, so please ensure you book your place in advance by ringing 01992 708381 or emailing debs.allbrook@rspb.org.uk asap. Then whatever you do, don't forget your camera!

We look forward to seeing you there.

PS. Not to be outdone, Tom is also running photography workshops for adults on Sunday 13 March and Sunday 10 April. These will be all day from 10 am - 3 pm. Full details will be available on the website shortly, or in the meantime please email debs.allbrook@rspb.org.uk for details.
