RSPB-MANSFIELD
Coach Trips-We regret that we cannot give prices in advance. These will depend on the length of the journey and the number of people going. The range is between £10 and £15. Please note the Mansfield Leisure centre pick-up point is in the Car park on Chesterfield Road south where there is a Sunday parking fee of £1:50. Downing Street Car park is in Sutton-in Ashfield, near New Cross. A deposit of £5:00 is required and this is only refundable if a cancellation is made giving a full week’s notice before the outing. Members must be ready to produce their RSPB membership cards when visiting RSPB reserves; failure to do so would mean the payment of the usual admission fee. Trips last a full day and friends and members are reminded to bring drinks and a packed lunch. We usually have a short comfort and coffee stop on the way to a site. Stout footwear is recommended, as is suitable clothing-warm and waterproof. The departure for home is around 4:30pm, but on trips when we leave very early in the morning, we would hope to leave a little before then to compensate. If the conditions are too bad for birdwatching there can also be an early return. New people are always welcome and it is not necessary to be a group member to get a taste of our trips. Don’t be put off if you feel you don’t know much yet-it’s a friendly group and there are birders of all levels of knowledge who will only be too pleased to help and advise. Book with the out door meetings secretary.
