Rishworth school/CBCG raptor evening rescheduled date

Following the unfortunate postponement of the above event earlier this month due to the bad weather it will now take place on Friday 6th March. The evening event is part of Rishworth and Heathfield schools' continuing support of the CBCGs efforts to protect raptors locally. The event will be the culmination of a full days fund raising effort by the schools and will include a presentation on raptors by Steve Downing, musical entertainment provided by both the school and a barber shop quartet, a quiz, finger buffet, auction and bar. Tickets are priced at £2.50 for adults with children free and can be obtained from myself or Tim Walker. In addition to the attractions listed there will also be a raffle so if anyone wishes to donate prizes these will be gratefully received, the main prize will be a framed photo of a Short-eared owl generously provided by Sean Gray. As many will know the Schools and their PTA's have already funded the production of the raptor calendar which continues to sell well, those local birders who have still not got theirs can obtain them from me or from the Bridge Inn at Ripponden.
