HAWKTALK WINTER 2023 ISSUE 95

Become a member of our Bird Team for the day!

We’re really excited to welcome all of you, our lovely members, back for our annual Members’ Working Day. This year, we’ve even added a second date so as many of you as possible have the chance to come along, or for the keen ones amongst you to come back twice! Join us on Sunday 26 November 2023 , and/or Sunday 7 January 2024 and find out what it is like to be at the Trust when we are closed! Come along and spend a day working with us to make sure our beautiful grounds are in tiptop condition. This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know our team, and your fellow members, a whole lot better. It’s a great way to get outdoors, getting hands-on for some leaf-raking and sweeping with our team. Plus, enjoy a free lunch on us! If you’d like to get involved in this fun, hands-on day, please email jemma@hawkconservancy.org. We hope to see you there! Life Members We’d like to extend a warm welcome to all new members – thank you for your support! We are pleased to have on board Andrew Munden, Joanna Munden, John Chitty, Kate Chitty, Kim Loader, Kelly McGuckian and Sue McGuckian. Get hands on at the Trust!

Have you entered our raffle yet? You could be in with a chance to win a day with our Bird Team! One lucky winner and a friend will become extra members of our Bird Team for the day, going behind the scenes to areas not normally open to the public. You’ll follow in the footsteps of their daily routine, getting to meet and help care for the wonderful birds that call the Hawk Conservancy Trust home. There’ll be opportunities to work alongside and fly some of our birds, as well as getting involved with enrichment sessions and even take part in one of our world-class flying displays! Don’t just take it from us, hear what last year’s winner had to say: “I just wanted to share my sincere thanks to the whole team for a truly memorable day my husband and I will never forget. All the staff and volunteers were so welcoming and so much effort was put in to our day, we learned so much and we honestly can’t thank the Trust enough for such an amazing day!” Enter the raffle by buying a ticket on our website or in the Trust shop on your next visit! Entries close at midnight on 31 December 2023. RaffLe tickets £5 each
