About us

The Newcastle group is the oldest in the north of England region having been founded in 1969. A full programme of outdoor meetings to good local birding venues in northern England and southern Scotland is offered along with an annual holiday. Indoor meetings are currently under review but it is hoped to offer meetings on at least a quarterly basis with high quality content and which offer an informative and social evening which will be open to all.

Meeting times and costs

Indoor Meetings are held quarterly (March, June, Sept and Nov) and start at 7.00pm. Entrance Fee £2.00 for both members and non members.
