CVL. Stratford Hide:
Steve Smith reported repairs are scheduled to be carried out to the boardwalk at Stratford Hide on Sunday, 26th November, by the conservation volunteers. They will be replacing the planks. It is likely this will require more than one day of work, which may be carried over to the next weekend. The hide may be out of action for 10 days to 2 weeks, although more serious issues may be uncovered requiring a longer closure.
Keith Fox funeral arrangements
Keith's funeral will take place on the 20th November at 11.00 at Weston super Mare crematorium.
Following this there will be a service at Holy Trinity Church, Nailsea at 12.30. BS48 4NG.
After the service Ronnie has invited everyone to the pub next door to the church, The Ring o' Bells.
Waxwing Photos
I'm writing an article for The Bristol Magazine about Waxwings and I'm after a couple of really good photos of them to illustrate the piece.Please can you ask BOC members and readers of the website to get in touch with me at dommett@blueyonder.co.uk if they have any suitable shots that the magazine could use? No payment, I'm afraid, but moderate fame! Pete Dommett
