Alverstone Village Natural History Club is open to
all Alverstone and other Isle of Wight residents who have an interest,
although not necessarily any great knowledge, in natural history.
|
| Everyone is welcome to come along to see what we do. |
|  The group normally meet once a month on the first Wednesday at 2.30pm in
Alverstone Village Hall. |
| Speakers, with specialist knowledge are, are invited in the winter months,
and visits are arranged to venues of interest in the summer. These venues
may be Isle of Wight wildlife or environmental centres or walks in the
countryside, hoping to see specific animals, birds or plants. |
| To cover expenses (such as the hire of the hall and speakers' fees) and
refreshments, a small charge is requested, currently £1.00 pre person per
session. |
| The club is friendly and run quite informally. |
| It was founded by Faith Day some 15 years ago. It is currently lead by
John Ralph with Linda Fuller as treasurer, with experienced help from Mrs.
Day! |
| The club is affiliated to the Newchurch Parish Sports and Community
Association which provides links to the wider Parish community and gives the
club a voice with the larger association to further the cause of
conservation and wildlife.
