Meetings are held on the third Tuesday night of every month at "Castle Grand", the new Castle Hill Community Centre, on the corner of Castle and Pennant Streets, Castle Hill at 8pm. The Community Centre is on level one, under the library, and the carpark entrance is in Castle Street, opposite the Police Station.
Meetings usually consist of "bird of the night" where we learn identification tips, guest speakers (some from overseas), then time to socialise over a free cup of coffee, tea or orange juice. There is also time to borrow from the book and video libraries, browse through the shop (where the books are less than the recommended retail price) and you can enter your bird sightings in the interesting observations book.
If you don't have a car, give us a call and we can try to arrange someone to pick you up. Meetings last until about 9.30pm or 10pm.
Don't be shy - come along and say g'day.
