At the Barmston meet there was some discussion about an end of year bash. The consensus seemed to be in favour of an outing to Potteric Carr. As it happens Christmas is on a Saturday this year, therefore the Monday and Tuesday are Bank Holidays. So as a first suggestion the 27th or 28th might be a good time. I know it's a long way off, but having followed the comments on the Community Meeting thread I thought I might just flag it up here as well. As BirdFlower mentioned it can be easy to miss Tyke meets. I dipped out on the woodlark trip for the same reason.

Suggestions on a postcard...

As usual I will be working so will have to give this one a miss.

Can I request that if you see any interesting mammals e.g. Mole, please don’t send me texts to grip me off. It’s bad enough working over Christmas as it is!

we may make this one again, try not to arrive late and miss everyone this time.

though i suspect it might be closed both of those days.

think it was closed on the bank holidays last year

Bank holiday closing

I've just called Potteric and it will be closed on the 24th and doesn't re-open until Wednesday 29th.

How about Wheldrake and the LDV as an alternative? Any other suggestions welcome?

Wheldrake etc will depend greatly on the water levels nearer the time. If the levels are too high it'll be scuba gear not scopes we'll need.

I'm going to Potteric 8 times between now & Christmas, so didn't really want to go again. Is that definitely a dead duck? I wouldn't mind Wheldrake, as I haven't been for 3 years, and it would be good to check it out before my classes there in the new year. Any other alternatives?

Michael, Potteric is closed over Christmas and the bank holidays so we are looking for an alternative. I suggested Wheldrake but that is highly dependent on water levels.

We were looking at Wheldrake last year for a post Xmas meet but the water levels were crap.

Maybe Calder Wetlands can come up with the goods again, or how about the Sculpture Park?
