Meetings and Events
We hold regular
indoor meetings in a building which is near to Scarborough Hospital
(see the 'Indoor Meetings' section below for details). They start at 7:30pm with any news and
reports from members about anything interesting they've seen or
heard about since
the last meeting. Next, there's a 'half-time' interval for a
look at any exhibits brought in by members and a bit of general
chit-chat amongst friends. Finally, the guest speaker will
deliver their talk (usually with a slide-show) and answer a few
questions afterwards. It's usually all over by 9:30pm.
If you're a member of the Society all the
meetings are free, but guests are welcome to come and see what it's
all about for the price of £1 per meeting.
Membership rates (payable in January) are as follows -
Full Membership - £10
Family Membership - £15
Senior Citizen and Concessionary - £7
Joint Senior Citizen and Concessionary - £10
Student or Junior - £2
Institutional Membership - £20
There is a text version of the
membership form which you can print out and complete if you would like to

payable to Scarborough Field Naturalists' Society) to our Treasurer.
