Fundraising events
Each year our group raises large sums for the RSPB. These range from stalls at local events, jumble sales, plant sale and more.
Social events
We arrange several social events each year. This is a way for people to get to know each other better and are usually only open to members of our local group.

Two holiday trips are organised each year. Usually we have one longer one in the spring and a shorter one in the autumn. Participation in holiday trips is restricted to our members.
Special events
We sometimes arrange bird ID sessions and other special events. See individual event for details.
