Avon Bat Group


Membership is now due and there is a simpler renewal form for current members on the Membership Forms Page - please renew or tell Jon you don't want to renew.

We now have an email list for sending out reminders etc to members - if you have not received the recent alerts, please email David B and I will add you to the list.

The recent regional bat conference was a great success and it was nice to hear what other bat groups are up to and to have a slot to say what we have achieved.  Thanks to Mike for speaking.
