Founded in 1959, the Club promotes all aspects of birdwatching, and currently has around 110 members. Field trips are arranged throughout the year to local sites and further afield, with weekend stays to more distant parts. During the winter months, indoor meetings are held, usually at the Thatcham Nature Discovery Centre, where invited speakers talk on a variety of bird subjects, including ID workshops. Novice and experienced birders alike are encouraged to join, and visitors are always welcome. Some members take part in local and national surveys, and all are encouraged to submit sightings to be included in our annual report of records taken wihin an approximate radius of 10 miles of Newbury Museum. The Club is closely linked to the Newbury Ringing Group. For further details visit our membership section, or call (01635) 269566.
