OFFICIAL BOOK LAUNCH at OLD MOOR RSPB

SUNDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER 2018 from 9.30am to 4.30pm 


Barnsley Bird Study Group has funded publication of the atlas through sponsorship and fundraising which continued throughout the atlas project. Due to increases in the cost of publication over recent years, since the original costs were given, costs which have been outside the control of the authors and the bird study group, the cost per book has unfortunately had to increase accordingly.

 Sponsors who originally paid £20.00 to sponsor a species and have their name in the book on their chosen species page, will only be asked for an additional £15.00 per copy to help cover costs and will be offered copies first. To anyone who has not sponsored a species in the book, the cost will be £35.00 per copy. Postage & packing per book is £5.00.

 Demand is expected to be high, therefore to reserve a copy please contact, David Pearce (dmp.waxwings@btinternet.com), Peter Middleton (BBSG Secretary – pmiddleton630@btinternet.com) or Graham Speight (BBSG Chairman – grahamspeight@uwclub.net). Please make cheques payable to Barnsley Bird Study Group, cash payments will also be accepted. Thank you for supporting Barnsley Bird Study Group.
