Once again, we hope to see you at the annual British Birdwatching Fair, held at Rutland Water from Friday, 15th August to Sunday, 17th August 2008 (inclusive). The Bird Fair this year is being co-sponsored once again by Naturetrek, with a contribution of £5,750. If you haven’t attended before, please give it a try! A vast fete-like pantheon of all things associated with birds, wildlife, travel and the great outdoors, makes this a wonderful experience for all so interested! We look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible. We’ll be delighted to discuss your holiday plans and requirements, and we also invite you to join us for a drink and ‘nibbles’ on Friday and/or Saturday, at 1700. Please do join us. A great many of our staff, tour leaders and ground operators will be attending, including Paul Stanbury, Paul Dukes, Andy Tucker, Rajan Jolly, Byron Palacios and others from our office. In particular, don’t miss talks by Paul Stanbury on Spitsbergen, Paul Marshall on Kamchatka and Andy Tucker on Peru; these will take place in the Lecture Marquee during the course of the weekend.
