Welcome, to the new-look website for the Reading RSPB local group we hope you enjoy your stay.

The Reading Local Group, is a local branch of the RSPB, we not only meet together to listen to interesting lectures on Birds and Wildlife, or go on walks in the surrounding countryside.  But we also Fundraise and raise awareness of the work the RSPB is doing throughout the United Kingdom.  If you would like to know more about us, then please contact either myself or one of the committee.

The NEW 2008 and 2009 Programme is almost ready for distribution, so Reading Group members can expect there copies in the post within the next couple of weeks. As the programme is now finalised, we've updated the website, so have a look at the 'whats on' page to find out what we are up to.

Our apologies for not keeping the site as up-to-date as we should have done last year, let's hope that we are more successfull in 2008! If you spot any problems, with any of the links or information please drop Carl Feltham an email at carl.feltham@talktalk.net so that he can correct it. Over the coming weeks and months we will be adding more information to the site, so if there is anything you would like to see added again, please let Carl know.

We look forward to seeing you soon
