Saturday 21st June 2008 - Summer Barbeque
Richard has agreed (with Pam's permission) to attempt another summer barbeque and this time we'll be hoping it doesn't rain! Contact Richard for details.

Saturday July 12^th – Butterfly Ramble in the Stinchcombe Hill Area
This will be led by Butterfly Conservation expert Chris Wiltshire; meet 4 pm in the public car park at the far end of the golf course, access via Hill Road, Dursley. Drink afterwards at the Old Spot in Dursley (CAMRA National Pub of the Year). Please contact Dave in advance to give him an idea of numbers.

Tuesday 15^th July 2008 – Evening Meal at Sheepscombe
The meal is at the Butcher's Arms in Sheepscombe at 7:30. If the weather is suitable there will be an evening stroll in advance at 6:00 or 6:30. Contact Julia for details.

Tuesday 29^th July 2008 – Bat Walk at Woodchester
This is a special, GVCV only, bat walk guided by the National Trust warden for Woodchester Park. The park has a range of bat species including the rare Greater Horseshoe. The presence of the rare bats is a major factor in the SSSI status of the park and influences the management of the valley, including some of the work GVCV has done there in the past. We will meet in the car park at 7:30 and will be leaving around 10:30. Bring a good torch, warm clothes including stout footwear. Pre-booking is essential. Contact Richard for details.

12^th August 2008 – Evening Walk
A walk around the Andoversford area of approx 5 miles, potentially ending at a pub. Start at 6:30pm. Contact Barry for details..

24^th September 2008 – Planning Meeting
The key social event of the season. A gilt-edged opportunity to help shape the future, establish leadership credentials and gain the respect of the GVCV membership. The meeting is at The Swan, Cheltenham starting at 7:30. All are welcome. Contact Lorna for further details.

October 2008 – Proposed Skittles Evening
We would like to have a skittles night, preferably sometime in October, as a change from the successful Ten Pin bowling socials. An organiser is needed to find a venue, arrange attendees and any lifts etc. If you would like to help out please contact Richard or Lorna to discuss.
