EVENTS The Society runs different types of events covering many aspects of wildlife and natural history. Indoor Speaker Meetings Field Outings Moth Trapping Field Outings, Outdoor Events and Mothing Mornings There is no need to pre-book on to a Field Outing unless otherwise stated. Members, as always, attend events at their own risk. The description for each outing gives information on the route and activity, including the type of terrain, any steep inclines or descents and any obstructions, such as stiles. Please read the outing details to see if it is suitable for you. If in doubt, consult the Field Outings Organiser by email at:- outings@chinats.org.uk Children are welcome to attend if accompanied by a responsible adult. Dogs are not permitted on Field Outings, the exception being for assistance dogs. Please bring any personal medication and any refreshments as appropriate. It's a good idea for attendees to carry their emergency contact details. Chi Nats always welcomes more volunteers to step forward to act as Leaders and suggest walks. You do not need to be an expert on wildlife, as there are always knowledgeable and helpful members in the group.
Last Mothing Morning at 10 am. We invite members to help unpack the Society moth trap at the location below. We publish the relevant addresses in our monthly newsletter or email website@chinats.org.uk Wednesday 2 September - Chidham
