Wildlife Recorders Conference
Rothley Centre, Mountsorrel Lane, Rothley
This event will be held on Sunday 28th February 2016, at the Rothley Centre, Mountsorrel Lane, Rothley, Leicestershire (close to the village centre). The programme allows for long tea and lunch breaks so that those attending have plenty of time to view the various stands and talk to others. Lunch is NOT provided, so please bring your own. Unfortunately the venue is not available on Saturdays in 2016 and presumably there will be few local shops open on a Sunday. The event is FREE, but those wishing to attend MUST book a place. Contact Nathalie Cossa at the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust either by email ncossa@lrwt.org.uk or telephone 0116 248 7362.
