Avon Wildlife Trust

Would you trust this man? I wouldn't, he's got shifty eyes and a bad taste in shiny shirts !! However this morning I received notice that I'd been duly elected onto the Board of Trustees for the Avon Wildlife Trust .

Quite an honour to be asked to consider this role and so thank you to the two other Trustees who nominated and seconded me. Even though it's early days and I've not met my fellow Trustees yet, I'm thrilled to be given this opportunity. More on the blog no doubt in the future.

  1. Warmest congratulations on your appointment Andrew.

    I hadn't realised where you hailed from - my son and his family live "down your way"!

  2. Thanks Tricia..... where exactly? I'm from Tyneside later Northumberland and now live near Weston Super Mare, just wondering which you mean with "Down your Way" :-)

  4. Andrew - they live in Bristol - which to me is Avon country and they often visit Weston Super Mare. The wording of my original post was somewhat ambiguous, my apologies!

  6. Hey well done, brilliant news - love the picture!! I will be with DWT at a regional WT meeting in Exeter on the 2/12. Might even meet you at some point! It would be great to hear about your work with AWT on your blog. Jane

    I am certain you will be just the man for this role! Look forward to reading all about it. It would be great if you and Jane met up at some point too :-D

  8. Thanks Jane and Shirl,

    Like Shirl says Jane we should and must meet up one day, only my change in personal circumstances has stopped me being in Dorset every week, but it's still not that far. Have fun in Exeter.

  9. Hi Border. I'm sure we will bump into each other at some point! Just thought you might like to have a look at a blog I set up for Steve Davis at DWT... might be something you consider doing at AWT. It's been really popular with the volunteers (and prospective volunteers/members). http://www.dorsetwildlife.co.uk/dwt-volunteers-blog.html
