Further to my message regarding the change of Field Trip details, I have received the following from Elfyn -
I have just spoken to Gareth Owen the Forestry Commission's 'Recreation Ranger' at the Nant-yr-Arian Forest Centre. As you know Tony's talk is at 1pm and will conclude at about 1.45pm to allow people to watch the kite feeding at 2pm. The lecture room is rather small and can only seat 30 people. This is 'not' a ticket event but Gareth's advise is that people who wish to attend the talk should give him a ring to confirm a place. 6 people have already booked so there is only room for another 24 (or 23 as I've booked my seat!). I suspect that Red's walk in the morning is going to be popular so naturally people may wish to continue to Nant-yr-Arian for the afternoon talk by Tony. So the advice is from Gareth Owen is to give him a call to ensure a place. Contact him on 01970 890453 this is his office number at the centre with a message answering service facility. Hope this information clarifies the situation.Of course there is a charge for the car park which is £1.50p I think.Tony's talks are always popular and well received I would 'strongly' advise people to attend if they can. Of course there is a restaurant at the centre offering refreshments. A lovely way to spend the afternoon. During my last visit a week or so ago there were goldeneye and goosander on the lake and there is always a chance of crossbills.
