Events - Cheshire Wildlife Trust North Group

Forthcoming events for members to take part in during the latter half of the summer and autumn are nearly finalised and will be posted on this blog and emailed around to you all. In the meantime, I thought I would take the opportunity to make you aware of a varied and interesting regular series of talks and lectures organised by Cheshire Wildlife Trust's North Group, including one in January by our Chairman, Dave Bishop.

All of these talks take place in the Lounge of St Mary Magdalene Church Centre at the side of the church. The church sits at the junction of Harboro Road and Moss Lane, Ashton-on-Mersey, Sale. Meetings commence at 7.45pm. Admission charge £2.00 for members, £3.00 for visitors
