We hold indoor meetings on alternate Wednesdays all year round (except during August) in the Lecture Room at Barnsley Central Library in Shambles Street. The meetings begin at 7 p.m. and end about 8.50 p.m. They consist mainly of illustrated talks by informed speakers, with occasional practical evenings on specific themes of interest to members.
We also hold field trips at intervals throughout the year. These are usually held on Saturday mornings, and take the form of short-distance informal walks at local venues of natural history interest. Time is taken to try and identify, and make lists of, the species encountered for personal interest and for the Society’s records.
Details of forthcoming meetings and field trips can be seen on the programme page of this web site.
The acquisition of a computer, projector and other digital imaging items - thanks to a grant of £4341 from Awards for All in 2004 - make it much easier for our members to create their own computer presentations, and to collect photographic records on Society field trips.
Everyone is welcome to attend any of our events.
