Our first ever members night.
And what a night it was! With huge thanks to all of our members who turned up and helped contribute to such an enjoyable and memorable evening. A talk by our chairman Craig Thomas kicked off events, with his personal perspective on birding the Yorkshire coast and especially at Flamborough, including a sneak peak of the revised plans for the seawatching hide.
Then with people enjoying and sharing the supper brought with them and by others, we launched into our raffle. The latter hosted by John Beaumont and ably assisted by Jo Hood, with many fantastic prizes from local businesses, members and a host of very generous birding and wildlife companies. The raffle raised over £500 for obs funds, so was a great social and financial success.
Finally, there was the launch of the new FBO branded clothing range. As the pictures show, the members couldn’t wait to try these on, with many of our stock items being snapped up and a book full of orders. As ever, many thanks to Ant of the Living Seas Centre for the use of the venue and all the help setting up.
