SUMMARY:Geology at Curridge
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Lesley Dunlop \nMeet at the car park on Curridge Lane close to the junction with Chapel Lane and adjacent to the Women’s Institute Hall (///rugs. acrobatic.equity or RG18 9DZ or SU491717) for a walk of about 2.5 miles. The area around Curridge is notable for the number of sinkholes and small pits. There are also areas of mass movement of the material above the London Clay. \n

SUMMARY:Bird Flight and Cooperation Aerodynamics (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Steve Portugal (University of Oxford) \nLearn how birds co-operate and the mechanisms they employ to save energy during flight. The distinctive V formation of bird flocks has long intrigued researchers and continues to attract both scientific and popular attention. Through the use of novel bio-logging technology\, and by working with the reintroduction scheme of the critically endangered Northern Bald Ibis\, studies have been performed on the relative positioning of individuals in a V-formation\, and the co-operative aerodynamic interactions that take place\, at a level and complexity not previously feasible. \nContact us for a Zoom link\, members will receive the link in our monthly newsletter. \n*** This talk has been rescheduled from 4th Feb due to technical issues ***

SUMMARY:Savernake
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Robert Stallard \nThis is the fourth year where Savernake has been an option\, hopefully fourth time lucky! \nThe Grand Avenue starts at a sharp left turn from the A4 just before the hill down to Marlborough (SU 20988 68342). Drive 0.6 miles along the pot-holed avenue and park at the first small car park on the right (SU 21746 67571). Although 35 miles away it should only take about 50 minutes from west Reading using M4 and A4. We will look at a number of named veteran trees (mainly oak) for which the forest is famous. It is a gentle walk of about 3 ½ miles. Some places muddy and slippery. Lunch will be available at the Bear Hotel at Hungerford on the A4 (RG17 0EL\, SU 33901 68903) just by the roundabout to the town centre. The hotel would like our lunch orders in advance\, the menu is available here. Please register your interest here by Saturday 15th with lunch choices and indicate whether you would like to accept or can offer lift(s) – as it is quite a long journey.
