This directory has been compiled to assist bird clubs and similar
organisations in locating speakers for their indoor meetings.
Each entry within the directory consists of a named individual
along with contact e-mail address, a list of talks/lectures undertaken
and details of fees, expenses and travelling distances.
If you wish to contact anyone listed in this directory, you may
do so directly by letter or telephone or by e-mail as indicated
by the individual speaker’s entry.
(Clubs that are part of the BTO/Bird Clubs Partnership, and are
more than 120 miles from Thetford should contact Derek Toomer about
special rates.)
