Withymead Competition
Withymead Nature Reserve has again invited WPC Members to take part in an annual photo competition, exclusive to club members only. The first was won by Niall Teskey so the challenge is on for 2022.
A WPC Exclusive visit has been set for Thursday 21st April with 28th as a fall back if the weather is unkind. This will be a perfect opportunity to capture the swathes of Loddon Lillies that Withymead is famous for. Further opportunities will be available throughout the season, so will be WPC Members Exclusive days. Please follow the link above to find out more about the reserve and how to book to visit on a public day. To enquire about a private visit please contact Pete Morton direct. Pete says that Thursdays are best for him. A special trophy has been created by Pete from wood felled at the reserve especially for this competition. Please see details of the rules and key dates below. |
