This year’s Annual General Meeting, No. 37, will once again be an online event.

It will take place via Zoom on Saturday 18th September at 11:00 am British Summer Time (10:00 GMT).

The Annual General Meeting will be followed by a talk on the Asian Songbird Crisis. Speakers will be Professor Stuart Marsden, who will talk about the various actions underway to address the crisis, followed by a summary of efforts to reduce the demand for wild caught songbirds, presented by Harry Marshall who is currently undertaking a PhD on this topic.

Attendance is by prior registration only, and only fully paid up members are entitled to vote. The meeting will cover essential Club business only and is not expected to take more than 45 minutes.

Under the Club’s constitution, this essential meeting must take place each year with a quorate of OBC Members attending, so we encourage as many members as possible to attend.
