BioSoc 'Bats of the World' talk - update

Just to confirm that the talk on Bats of the World will be from 12-1pm, Tuesday 3rd March 2009 and will be held in Room G4 in the Cledwyn Building on the Penglais Campus of Aberystwyth University. All are welcome. Would be nice to see some bat group members there, if possible, but it is during working hours!

Instructions on how to get to the university and a campus site map are available on the Locations and maps page of the university website.

BioSoc are on Facebook, so if you're already on Facebook, why not give them a 'poke'(?).  I'm already at the outer limits of my knowledge on social networking sites, so i'll leave it at that.

Programme of events - also coming soon...

We hope to be publishing a programme of events for North Ceredigion Bat Group soon - it will include an evening bat walk with BioSoc and the Wildlife Trust in the Rheidol Valley some time in May - again, all are welcome! On the night, we'll be checking on a large roost and then doing some bat detecting in the nearby woods to see what we can find. We'll have spare bat detectors, so everyone can have a go.

Later on in the year, we'll be checking on some of the local bat roosts - some that we've been monitoring for many years - as part of the Bat Conservation Trust's National Bat Monitoring Programme. No previous experience required so do come along. We usually arrange to meet up in Aberystwyth beforehand, and then share cars to the bat roosts, but we'll send out emails nearer the time with full details. If you want to join the North Ceredigion Bat Group email list, please email me.

BioSoc Bat Talk - coming soon!

North Ceredigion Bat Group  have been invited to give a talk on bats for Aberystwyth University's 'BioSoc' (Biological and Environmental Society).

The talk will be given by Richard Crompton on the 3rd March 2009, from 12-1pm and will be about 'Bats of the World'. We'll confirm which building and room number when we have them. The talk is open to members of BioSoc but all are welcome (it would be good if you could make a small donation though, if you're not a member).
