Morning All

The ‘stand’ in Booths is going well with a few prospective members interested; in theory!

Dates to remember:

June 14^th – Tuesday – our third Events Cup destination at Lunt Meadows, details below.

June 22^nd – Wednesday – members evening. Please bring your cameras ‘cos this week we are going around Garstang. Stan’s idea is ‘Then and Now’. In a nutshell I’ll be giving out, to each member, an old image of Garstang. The idea is that you find the location and replicate the composition of the image; if it’s raining, bring a coat! You will then need to edit your ‘new’ image and present it on the following week, comparing it to the ‘old’ image.

Please, also bring any images that you ‘shot’ on the last members evening (down by the river) to show; you can edit them ‘live’ if you haven’t already.

June 29^th – Wednesday – members evening, part 2 – see above.

If nay members have further ideas for members evening, PLEASE let us know.

Parking information

Free car park. Donations welcome. Opening hours are 9:30am – 5:00pm. Vehicles left in the car park outside of opening hours will be locked in.

Walking trails

A number of paths run around the reserve. These are unsurfaced and can be rough underfoot, with a number of narrow kissing gates, so aren’t suitable for wheelchairs or mobility scooters. They are in the process of upgrading the access network so that wheelchair-users and those with limited ability can enjoy the site

Access

Visitors can access the site outside car park opening hours but will need to park in the layby opposite the entrance gate and walk onto the site from there. If the gate is locked visitors are requested not to park in surrounding lanes to access the reserve. Please do not park in front of the gate as 24-hour access is required for emergency and other large vehicles.

Lots more information on Lunt Meadows Nature Reserve website.

Lewis and I are both on holiday so obviously won’t be there. If any members wish to car share or meet up at lunchtime, please arrange between yourselves. Have a nice time!

That’s all folks

Mike and Lewis
