Spring watch

Hi everybody!
Just a couple of things, firstly as an amateur photographer I take loads of wildlife photos and I use some to make hand made greetings cards. What do you think about me bringing some along to springwatch to sell - all profits to swt of course! I can bring some examples to the next meeting if you think its a good idea. I mentioned this idea to Sarah and she suggested I put it to you all via the blog.
And secondly, further down the page was mentioned the idea of trips to places in Sussex and the possibility of the Weald and Downland museum. Well I volunteer at the stables there every friday and can highly recomend it as a good place to visit.
Finally, I have updated my blog after my holiday in Kent, so if anyone wants to see what I got up to and some of the photos I took do have a look - www.sophiecosussex.blogspot.com
Thats all for now
cheerio!

Hey Ho :)

That all sounds really exciting Sarah! I am sooo looking forward to our next meeting :)

Just one thing though... could you explain what a 'mini allotment ' is? I know what a regular sized allotment is, lol, I'm just not quite getting how you make a smaller version... and it does sound like a really interesting thing to try and do!

Also, I forgot to say before, I love your idea about having a plant identification thing at SpringWatch, Rachel! Maybe we could also have a talk about how we could make that happen at the next meeting?

One last thing, i had one other small idea for SpringWatch, partly inspired by something my mum said... we could maybe have another very simple questionnaire type thing, where all you have to do is tell us what you think you'd do if you were given the chance to manage a piece of land (on your own or as part of group) with no interference from outside authorities... hopefully we'd get quite a few entries with really good nature-related ideas, and not just "I'd build a football pitch", lol...

I'll shush now! Peace Out

Leah :)

Things to do...

Hey

Great to see you're all busy and chatting on the blog. I've been busy too and have got some things to ask you...

If you're all keen on Leah's idea about video-interviewing people at Springwatch, you needto come up with some ideas for thing you want to talk to them about - what are you going to be asking them about?

Also, Brighton and Hove Council are holding a mini allotment competition at Springwatch and they were asking whether any of you would like to enter - you just need to build one and bring it along on the day. Make it in a recycled container if possible.

We've been given a couple of jobs to do in preparation for Sprinwatch too so we're going to have a busy and creative next meeting. I'll email info to Melissa and she can put a rough agenda together and email it round you all.

That's all for now I think.
Sarah

Hey All :)

Thanks again Rachel :) I'd actually completely forgotten about that idea! lol

One other thing... I suddenly realized that there is one really awesome place to visit in Sussex that nobody has yet mentioned (this may be because you've all been there loads already though...)

But just to check, would any of you be interested in a visit to the Weald & Downs Museum?...

That's all for now

Peace Out, Leah :) 

it was me

from reniece

Oh yeah i see now :) Thank you!
was reading some of the older posts too and Leah your idea about having a workshop type thing is really good - i think it would definitely encourage more people to visit the stall. Like you say though, not sure how plausable it is. Maybe we could have a 'tracker' (not sure what they're called) down to one of our meetings so that we could go for one of our walks and take pictures of what is identified. Then at the stall, the visitors could look at pictures on display and guess what they are. Only a small idea, it doesn't need to go ahead at all - not sure how cost effective it would be - no tracker works for nothing i'm sure of that! hehe :)

still coming up with a few ideas for the logo - could anyone send me the logo you have already with the big Y (sure you know what i mean) if not no worries :)

see you soon,
Rachel xxx

Look into the paassst...

Thanks Rachel :)

Also, if you go down to the bottom of the page and click 'Older Posts' twice, and then go up again you should find a post from Sarah that explains everything you need to know about the photography competition :) It's better you do that than I explain it, cos I'd only get it all mixed up! lol

Peace Out... again

Leah :D
