The Berkshire Mammal Group is going into hibernation<\/h3>\n
\n\t

We regret to say that due to other commitments of the commitee members, the Berkshire Mammal group will be reducing in scope from now.<\/p>\n

We will no longer be activiely seeking members, charging membership or running talks.<\/p>\n

Our thanks go to all our commitee members and members who have participated in our programmes over the years.<\/p>\n

Our survey work will continue and the Surveys.bmg@gmail.com and Dormouse.bmg@gmail.com will remain active for general survey or dormouse related issues. For any other queries, contact me on website.bmg@gmail.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A message from our Chair<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Happy new year. I hope you had a good festive period!<\/p>\n

I am writing to you to inform you about the changes that will be occurring in the Berkshire Mammal Group. I will be stepping down as chair at the Feb AGM this year. Unfortunately with my new position at the University of Surrey, it has become difficult to provide the time to the group that is needed. Ewan Davies is looking to step back from the VC role (but continue as website manager) and Angela Houghton is looking to step back from the treasurer role (but remain on the committee) at the Feb AGM.<\/p>\n

While there are 5 committee members none are able to take on the chair role. Therefore in order for the group to continue in its current form the chair, VC and treasurer roles need to be filled as well as the group secretary which still remains vacant. If any of these roles are of interest to you please contact me. Even if you have not had any experience in any of these roles before, the group are very friendly and would be happy to help and support anyone wishing to join the committee. If you know of anyone who is not a member but may be interested please feel free to pass on this email.<\/p>\n

If the chair and other roles can not be filled by the AGM in Feb the group is likely to be disbanded after the bat walk in April and the membership money will be donated to the Mammal Group. There will still be the opportunity to help out on surveys throughout the summer months of 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
