September 2010 Wednesday 22nd	Welcome to the Group – Mike Hines followed by “World Class Bird Images II” – David Cromack. David visited us a couple of years ago with a fantastic presentation of photographs taken from International Bird Photographic competitions. He let slip that he had enough for a second evening – so, if you attended the first presentation you won’t want to miss this one.
October 2010 Wednesday 27th	“A Birding Trip to Trinidad and Tobago” – Allan Hale. Ever entertaining, Allan’s main quarry on this trip was Scarlet Ibis. With a week on each island this includes the inevitable visits to sewage farms. Find out if he found his target species.
November 2010 Wednesday 24th	“A Year in the Life of a Wildlife Photographer” – Allan Livingstone. Allan was Group Leader when I joined many years ago. He is knowledgeable, has a great sense of humour and takes excellent photographs. He is interested in a variety of wildlife and plants.
December 2010 Friday 10th	“Members Night” – Yourselves. More of a social evening. We tried this for the first time last season and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves. If you have enough material on birds or other wildlife to fill a ten minute slot please bring it along. Slides, digital photographs, poetry or a short quiz would all be welcome. Please note the change of evening and early position in the month – please bring raffle prizes and mince pies etc. For this Christmas Special.
January 2011 Wednesday 26th	“A Bird Watching Tour of Wyoming and Colorado – Allan Knight. Allan gave an excellent short presentation on his garden birds for last season’s Christmas Special. Wildlife, especially birds, from the Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone Park and the Tetons is described tonight.
February 2011 Wednesday 23rd	“India, its Birds, People and the Taj Mahal” – Richard Pople. Richard gave an intriguing talk a couple of years ago on Morocco. Tonight he travels further afield to northern India visiting Keoladeo National Park, (Bharatpur Reserve) and the foothills of the Himilayas.
March 2011 Wednesday 23rd	“The Birds of South East Arizona and the Grand Canyon” – Neil Coe. Neil has very kindly supplied the raffle prizes for several years and displayed his ‘twitching’ photographs to puzzle us. He suggests bringing sunglasses as there will be a lot of bright colours on show.
April 2011 Wednesday 27th Sponsored by Sibelco	7.00pm: Annual General Meeting followed at 7.30pm by “The Folklore of Woodlands and Hedgerows” – Tony Bates. Tony’s photographs always have that extra something and his presentations are lively and fascinating. He likes his audiences to participate and you will find it difficult not to get involved.
