Montgomeryshire Moth Group events programme 2025

Hi all,

I am just taking the opportunity here to remind everyone of the dates for the moth group night events arranged so far. It is hoped to hold events in Welshpool and Newtown later in the year but the details are still being finalised for these.

The Andrew Logan Museum event in Berriew will be a collaborative event during the school holidays with a night event and following day activities. More details to come on this.

Simon is running a series of moth mornings this year. These will be advertised on the MMG facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/montymoths They will normally start at 8.00am and unless the catch is ridiculous, should finish at 10.00am.  Anyone wishing to host such an event please get in touch with Simon Spencer cerisyi@btinternet.com or 07866428875.  240volt MV traps and cables can be provided but a power supply will be required.
