Weather permitting we will have our annual introduction walk around the Messingham Sand Quarry NR.
​
Starting at 2pm on Saturday 7th June 2025 from the car park, although aimed as an introduction to anyone who has never been around the reserve, it is open to all, and we hope to meet up again with returning members and friends.

​
Once again, we will to be on site from 10am to 4pm on Sunday 29th June 2025 when we hope to have pond dipping and bug hunting for anyone to take part in. We can also accompany anyone who would like to see what the reserve holds. Just ask for a guide.
​
The weather can sometimes be a problem. It may be too wet for some or too dry for pond dippng but we are usually fortunate around this time. This is the peak time for thr flora which is quite extensive.
​
We hope to see you there.
Please note that "Weather Permitting" not only refers to bad weather, it also means, as we have found over the last few years, weather that is too hot. The dipping ponds have at times been too low or even dried out for us to run the dipping safely.
