Legend
	Moth night
	Daytime meeting
	We are likely to be recording some distance from the meeting place so it will not be a good idea to be late.
	We will be taking cars beyond locked gates so it may be awkward to leave before the end of the meeting
	It is likely that there will be some carrying of equipment a reasonable distance

The grid reference listed is that of the meeting place and not necessarily where we shall be recording so it pays to be prompt or at least let us know if you are going to be late.

Please note that persons who attend these events do so entirely at their own risk and neither the Suffolk Moth Group nor any person accepts any liability for accident, injury, loss, death or any other matter occurrence. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Your attention is also drawn to the safety guidelines below.

Safety guidelines

• Dress appropriately for an activity in the countryside. It may turn cold at night even in the height of summer. Stout footwear is recommended.
• A torch is recommended, making sure the batteries are fresh or charged
  
• No dogs are allowed (except guide dogs)
• Do not touch moth trapping equipment - generators, cabling, moth traps, bulbs or other electrical equipment. It is considered bad etiquette to open up and look at the contents of somebody else's trap without being invited to do so.
  
• Biting insects can be attracted to light so you may wish to use insect repellent
• Bring refreshments, as facilities for refreshments are most unlikely to be available
• A picnic chair for sitting on may be useful at some meetings
• Bring a rimmed hat or sunglasses to protect your eyes from the glare of the moth lights
