KUŞKOR team

Next year annual membership fee will increase to 40tl but this entitles you to a free Kuskor 2016 calendar valued at 10tl. Those members who've already purchased a calendar will get 10tl off the membership fee for 2016.    We are doing great things with the funds you help to raise and 100% goes to conservation projects and education initiatives.

I know you will all be saddened to hear that our dear friend Brian Little has had to cancel his trip to join us this year as he in a personal battle with cancer.  He was due to celebrate his 80th birthday with us and we all looked forward to helping him enjoy the day. I am in contact with his good friend Bill Grainger and will keep you posted on progress.

I intend to send him a bird related card and 2016 calendar as a small token of our best wishes - I will have the card with me on 5th December for you to sign,
