It was mentioned a couple of weeks ago that we had had over 9,000 page views since the new site was launched. This has now shot up to almost 17,000 page views. We also have a large number of people following the site through e-mail.
A really big thank-you to everyone for their continued support.
All members are advised that if they have changed their e-mail address since joining Ogston Bird Club they should let the club’s Membership Secretary have their new details. If you inadvertantly forget to keep your e-mail address up to date, you could be missing out on important information from the Ogston Bird Club.

This year’s Lowland Derbyshire Biodiversity Forum will be held at County Hall, Matlock on Saturday 30th November from 10-4.15pm
With a theme loosely based around ‘Species’, there will be talks from a range of county experts, plus two workshop sessions on topics you can choose from.
The main speaker is Tim Birch, formerly of Greenpeace, but now the new Conservation Manager at Derbyshire Wildlife Trust who leads on their badger vaccination campaign. Like most of us, he is concerned at the decline of many species, both globally and locally.
Places are free, but do need to be booked by Monday 18th November. The flyer contains a Booking Form which can be printed and mailed back to Nick Moyes, at the address on the booking form.
Groups are welcome to bring displays or appropriate material to sell, but will need to be responsible for their own stock and money. You can book a table space via the normal booking form.
Just to say thankyou to all those that are now visiting the new website, the numbers continue to grow day by day. Please also remember the website is for the benefit of the club’s members and if there’s anything you’d like to see on here, please get in touch.
Thanks for all the support.
