Outdoor Groups
Peter Rose
The group leader details are only available to logged in members
When do we meet?
Second and fourth Wednesdays every month
What do we do?
We learn to identify birds in the field by call, appearance and silhouette. A programme of visits is produced and is available in August with a mixture of full and half days out.
All the sites are within East Anglia so driving is necessary and we encourage car sharing.
Some reserves charge for non-members.
At times we do traverse rough ground and stand around, as well as using hides.

Second Wednesday of the month.
From October to March there is a talk from a guest speaker also at the Hyndman Centre 2-4 pm
What do we do?
The Garden Group offers a programme of monthly winter lectures or activities and summer garden visits.
All winter meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month in the Hyndman Centre from 2pm-4pm
Summer garden visits are generally all day leave and return from Ram Meadow car park.
The group is run by a committee of four members. We charge a fee for membership to cover the hire of the Hyndman Centre, the visiting speaker fee and our affiliation to the RHS.
Currently our membership list is full but we hold a waiting list. Anyone interested in joining us should contact the group leader.

When do we meet?
First and third Monday mornings of the month (not July and August)
What do we do?
The exercise of a walk on Monday mornings in friendly company is a great way to start your week! Our walks are 4 to 6 miles in length and start at 10.00 a.m. Members of the group volunteer to lead walks and mention points of interest in the countryside, historic buildings, etc.
We occasionally have spaces for new members so please contact the group leader if you would like to hear more about the group or to be put on a waiting list.

When do we meet?
Fourth Thursday of month
What do we do?
Our Group members take it in turns to plan and lead walks which are approx 6 miles in length starting at 10.00. Lunch follows each walk (arranged by the walk leader), generally at a local pub.
Our walks are usually circular – starting and ending at or near the pub designated for lunch – however, members are welcome to plan linear walks when possession of a bus pass might come in handy!
Driving is necessary so we encourage car sharing.
If you are interested, please contact the Group Leader and you will be sent further details.

When do we meet?
Two Tuesday mornings each month, usually 2nd and fourth, although if we are venturing further afield we enjoy a day trip, generally with a pub lunch.
What do we do?
We visit a wide variety of locations to study the birds, flora and fauna of this area of East Anglia. Most visits are within a 20-mile radius of Bury but we occasionally travel as far as the Suffolk coast.
