Members came along to the Discovery Centre to get an update on Friends’ activities and to elect committee members for the next year. The new Reserve Site Manager, Paul Tinsley-Marshall, introduced himself to the meeting. We look forward to working with him to support the Reserve.

The highlight was the award of Honorary Life Membership to four very special people, who have worked tirelessly over many years for the Reserve and the Friends – Barry and Anne Yates, Cliff Dean and Chris Bentley. You will still see them around, enjoying the Reserve and joining Friends’ events. Thank you to all of them – such hard acts to follow.
