Mothing Events in Suffolk 2008

2008 Field Programme


This page will list moth events organised in Suffolk for the forthcoming year.

People are welcome to attend most events organised by the SMG or myself, although it useful to let us know if you are thinking of coming along as numbers are restricted at some meetings.

Annual indoor meeting - Bucklesham Village Hall - Saturday 5th April 2008 - 11.00am

Doors will open at 10.15am and the meeting will start at 11.00am. The meeting will follow a similar format to previous years. The day will consist of a series of informal presentations and exhibits by members of the moth group. The meeting normally ends up finishing by about 3-4pm.

The day's entertainment is entirely dependent on members bringing along items of interest or being prepared to give a short/long talk. I will be bringing a digital projector for those with digital presentations or images. If anyone would like to show slides I can provide a slide projector if they let me know beforehand Tables will also be provided for those with exhibits. It would be useful if you are intending on giving a presentation to let me know. Refreshments will be provided but not lunch - I would suggest either bringing your own packed lunch or there is a nearby pub in the village but I am not sure if the pub is open at the moment.

There will be an opportunity for discussion about the National Moth Recording Scheme and how it affects recorders in the county.

Jon Clifton from Anglian Lepidopterist Supplies will also be there on the day. Please contact him if you have any specific requests for equipment.

Bucklesham Village Hall is not far from the Nacton A12/A14 roundabout to the east of Ipswich. From the A12/A14 roundabout take the minor exit after the A12 exit but before the A14 Felixstowe exit. This exit is signposted to Bucklesham and leads via a single track road to Bucklesham Village. At the end of this road you will reach the village, at the T junction turn right into Bucklesham Road. Take the next right turn into Levington Lane and the village hall is a short distance down the lane on the right.

A map of the location can be viewed by following this link. The OS Grid Reference for the hall is TM242417. If you need any more detailed instructions in how to get there then do get in contact with myself.
