Due to the unavailability of the meeting venue in January the COG committee has decided to move the annual Members Night forward to December. This provides an opportunity for COG members to contribute short presentations (about 10-15 minutes long) on a range of bird related topics. So if you have a favourite birding moment for 2013, some special photos to share with members, a birding story to tell, or anything that you think might be of interest to other members, please contact Jack Holland (6288 7840 A/H), or by email on jack.holland@environment.gov.au ) as soon as possible. Members who have not presented to COG before are especially encouraged.
