| Garden Tiger - one of the Moth Night target species |
Hello all,
National Moth Night takes
place this year from 8th - 10th August. This is where mothing sessions are
arranged for anyone who has an interest to attend, to see how its done and
basically meet a few moths. Its ideal for anyone hoping to get into moths to
ask a few questions and for local residents who may have seen the bright glow
from our house to see what its all about...
So, I'm am inviting anyone interested to attend a couple of open sessions at
Howick Village Hall, Howick Village, Alnwick, just down the road
Saturday night 10th August 2013 from 9pm until midnight.
Meet at the Village Hall 9pm sharp. The traps will be in
operation, and weather permitting there should be some moths attracted, and
maybe some bats too.
Sunday morning 11th August 2013 from 8.30am until 10.30am
Come and see the traps emptied, the catch recorded and (hopefully)
identified. There should be some opportunity to get some photos of the catch if
you wish.
Feel free to come to one or both. There will be tea and coffee
available with biscuits. As we will be using the Village Hall
electrics, donations of £1 per head would be gratefully received.
All guests should bring a torch, and suitable clothing for
outdoors, Children must be accompanied by an adult, sorry no pets.
In the event that the weather forecast is for torrential rain (
drizzle is ok) or blowing a gale ( a light breeze is ok) please contact
me.
Stewart Sexton, Howick

Good luck I hope you get plenty of takers.
Not too many I hope, its not a Facebook party! :)
A coach-load of night-clubbers arriving from Newcastle for the Sunday morning session aren't welcome then?
Oh well, that will bring the decent weather to an end then ;-)
Na, only kidding mate, hope it goes well, I wouldn't mind being there myself, wish someone round here would organise such an event!
Steve -Best get some tunes sorted....
Warren - I'm not sure anyone will turn up! We are a bit far from population centres here...
