Programme

BOC PROGRAMME

The Club holds monthly indoor meetings from September to March at:

The Newman Hall, Grange Court Road, Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol BS9 4DR

Indoor meetings start at 7.30 pm and end usually around 9.30 pm. They involve slide-show presentations and talks on a wide range of bird topics by both guest speakers and our own club members.

We hold regular field meetings both locally around the Bristol area and farther afield within a 2-3 hour drive time from Bristol. We also arrange weekend and week long trips to more far away places including abroad. Details of all our meetings are posted on our 'Club News' page and also in the monthly BIRD NEWS newsletter.
