Tea and Meeting: 16:00 in the Conistone and Kilnsey Village Hall, Skipton BD23 5PS (SD 9726 6766). There will be a modest charge for refreshments.

General information: The Yorkshire Moth Group is invited to trap on the Friday night. There is no mains electricity supply available. Although many habitats are easily reached and close to the meeting place near Kilnsey Crag, it is hoped some will visit the much less recorded limestone grasslands and crags of Old Pasture SSSI (SD988672), reached on a track from the Grassington-Conistone road, or perhaps the closer area of Outgang Scar (SD973669).
