October 2008 Newsletter

A Very Grebe Error

The Open Day on November 1st will be held at the usual venue in Caldy – not as announced in The Grebe.  Fond though we are of Room B at Heswall Hall, our Caldy venue is more appropriate. New members will be most welcome.

For details and directions, please ring 625 5570 or send us an email

Have a Long Year!

All Cheshire Wildlife Trust members will have read that Council has decided to change the Trust’s financial year to run  from 1st April to 31st March. The Trust therefore needs our Wirral Wildlife accounts to match this, and so the account for 2008 will now run for 15 months ending 31st March 2009. This in turn means that AGM in future will be held in Autumn, probably at  our regular October meeting. A formal notification and agenda will be sent to all members with our Summer Newsletter for 2009.

For the second year running, a member of Wirral Wildlife group has received the Eric Thurston Award for services to Cheshire Wildlife Trust. In 2007 Barbara Greenwood’s contribution was recognised and this year Hilary Ash, our Honorary Conservation Officer, was presented with the framed picture shown in the photograph.
