Thanks to all who replied to my email regarding getting back together, there was a unanimous vote to return to indoor meetings. As I explained, the Quakers have given us a massive headache by letting our meeting room booking go to another group. This means that, in the short term, we will have to meet on a different day and that day, as voted by the members, is a Monday evening. This will be in place until December and then from January 2022 we will be back to our normal second Tuesday of the month.<\/p>\n
The following dates should go in your diariesin bold letters; We have booked the second Monday in the month with the exception of the September meeting<\/strong> which will be on the first<\/strong> Monday. This is because I had a commitment to another group on Monday 13th<\/sup> September and it can\u2019t be altered as I am doing a lighting demonstration and the club has organised a buffet to celebrate the first post covid meeting. Please note, we will not be providing a celebratory buffet at WNS but will, in all probability, have tea and biscuits \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n Monday 6th<\/sup> September \u2013 welcome back and President\u2019s night<\/strong><\/p>\n Monday 11th<\/sup> October – Ray Brown “Cortez to California”<\/p>\n Monday 8th<\/sup> November – Mike Watson\u00a0 “Birding the Rockies ”<\/p>\n Monday 13th<\/sup> December – Ian Newton “2018 BC”<\/p>\n I can now get on with arranging speakers and will publish an update very shortly. The first meeting back will be a welcome meeting with a quick bit of business to bring us up to date and then there will be a slideshow by me featuring a wide variety of NH subjects photographed during the lockdown period. There will be no special measures at the meeting\u00a0 with regards to COVID-19, but if you feel that you would like to wear a mask, then please do so but it is not compulsory and I don\u2019t expect everyone to sport one. You will be responsible for your own safety and the Wakefield Naturalists’ Society will not be held accountable in any way.<\/p>\n I\u2019m looking forward to seeing you all again<\/p>\n John Gardner<\/p>\n President<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thanks to all who replied to my email regarding getting back together, there was a unanimous vote to return to indoor meetings.
