We are a group of people with an interest in Natural History.

We have monthly field trips on a Sunday throughout the year and fortnightly meetings on a Wednesday evening.

The latter are held, on dark evenings, indoors and we expect each month to have to have a speaker on some aspect of the world’s wildlife. These alternate with ‘informal’ meetings where we report the latest sightings or discuss some aspect of wildlife interest. In the summer we visit local sites instead.

We look for and record the animals, birds, fungi & plants on these visits.  All the meetings are general in nature but, naturally, the emphasis changes with the seasons.  In winter we will visit 'birding' sites and in summer aim for the plantlife.  We expect to have a Fungus Foray in the autumn and, since their formation in 2007, these are in association with the Suffolk Fungus Group.

The information, together with records from individuals, is published in a Bulletin and an Annual Report.  The information is also given to The Suffolk Biological Records Centre in Ipswich.

Ordinary membership costs £5.50 a year at present.  For a couple at the same address the charge is £8.50 (One set of publications only).  Junior membership is just £0.50 a year, but parents will need to make their own arrangements to supervise youngsters at meetings.
We also ask for a small contribution towards room hire for indoor meetings.  These are held at the United Reform Church in London Road North, Lowestoft and start at 7.30pm.
For security reasons the front door is locked when the meeting starts, so please try to come on time.
