20-01-2016 - events calender updates and calls for help


If you are free on Saturday the 30th of Jan are are free to help with the Rhodo Bash at Kingston Hill, it would be great to see you. If you can let me know by Monday 25th January, it will allow me to organise extra supplies. 

If you have heard of the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch, and were thinking about getting involved this year, why not survey at KU site, we are aiming to survey all of our sites as we did with the Butterfly Count last year. 

We are still looking for help on the following sites, so if you have one hour free at any point between Friday 29th Jan and Monday 1st Feb, and would like to undertake a survey at any of of the following sites, please get in touch:
• Tolworth Court
• Surrey Club and the Reg Bailey Building
• Seething Wells 
• Kingston Bridge House
• Dorich House

We've had a couple of date changes for some events in February and corrected some incorrect times on the previous calender. You can download the PDF of the updated calender here
