Becoming a Member of the
Moor Green Lakes Group
The Benefits
 You don't have to be a
Member
to visit the Reserve; the access paths are public. The main area of the
Reserve is restricted access to avoid disturbance to wildlife and the only
access is for surveys and conservation and maintenance work. Of course, by
joining you contribute to the costs of running and
improving the Reserve and get to discover more about what there is to see. The Group currently has over
600 Members.
Members of the Group have
access to the viewing hides and receive information about the Reserve and the
activities of the Group via two
News Letters each year giving information on the
latest events, wildlife sightings and topical issues.
Members also receive the comprehensive
Annual Report
which details the results of the numerous wildlife
surveys carried out in the previous year. Each February or March members are invited to
attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to appoint the Group Committee Members
and comment on the Group activities and finances. This is followed by
refreshments (provided by CEMEX) and a
talk on a topical subject.
How to Join
It costs just £3 per year for
single membership or £5 for a family membership.
Memberships run from 1st September to
31st August. Anyone joining or renewing between 1st June and 31st August is
automatically enrolled until 31st August of the following year.
We are now able to accept
online payment, including standing orders, if you wish. The instructions are on
the Application and Renewal forms which can be downloaded from the menu on the
right of this page. The forms are
available in
PDF and DOC format. Whichever way you chose to pay, please ensure that you keep
us up-to-date with changes in your contact details.
You will need to be registered
with your bank to make on-line payments. This can usually be done by internet
access to your bank.
An annual renewal reminder is
distributed (by post or email depending on your preference) in July/August. The
new combination lock code for the viewing hides is issued on renewal of your
membership and applies from the 1st October when the locks are changed to the
new combination lock code.
Members who express an interest
in being involved in surveys, conservation activities or taking an active part
in running the Group are most welcome. Express your interests on the application
form and you will be contacted in due course.
