Events

2010 courses

These can only be made through the Project Officer using the contact details on this website. Most courses are restricted to 15 attendees to make the course experience as comfortable for the leader and attendees. Courses that are popular will have a reserve list in case of cancellations. Events must be booked in advance as places are limited and event details may be subject to change.

The training events are aimed at volunteers wishing to learn more about the many aspects of biological recording, and so volunteers will always be given preference upon booking. Paid conservation staff and consultants can still apply to attend, although a small charge may be levied. Please contact the Project Officer for further details.

Events are generally field based and most locations are not within the realms of public transport, however please contact the Project Officer as we may be able to arrange transport to and from the venue in some cases.

For events at Preston Montford a pick-up from Shrewsbury railway station may be able to be arranged. Again please contact the Project Officer.

Most day courses will run from around 10.00 / 10.30 am – 3.30 / 4.00 pm. Full details of each course – with directions to the venue / meeting point will be sent out to participants around 3 or 4 days before the event. If you are attending a course and would like the confirmation a little earlier – please let me know. If you need further details of any of the events please contact the Project Officer.

Cancellation

Please give me as much notice as you can if you are unable to attend the course to give someone else a chance to attend. People who regularly cancel places may be given a lower priority in booking future courses.

For details of individual courses please contact the Project Officer.
