Indoor Meetings
Tuesday 8th September – Speaking Up For Nature with RSPB’s Nora Casey.
As Senior Parliamentary Officer, Nora will speak about how RSPB Scotland works with other environmental charities and community groups to encourage parliamentarians to do more for nature. Nora will discuss how we can support each other in campaigning for nature in our local area or nationally to make the biggest possible difference. So a great topic for old and new Group Members alike.
Venue: Partick Burgh Halls, Glasgow G11 5LW, meeting begins at 7pm prompt.
