    QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Newsletter No. 155 Autumn 2016 Chorley and District Natural History Society is a Registered Charity: Registration Number 513466 THE NOTIFICATION OF THE WEST PENNINE MOORS AS A SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST (SSSI) It has been a notable summer on the West Pennine Moors (WPM) with a host of locally scarce, or previously unrecorded upland specialities reported. Botanically, the consolidation or spread of existing restricted populations of Moonwort, Great Sundew, Royal Fern, Round-leaved Sundew and Bell Heather were noted whilst in many areas, vast carpets of Cranberry fruited in abundance. Highlights were the locating of new colonies of Marsh Andromeda, Cowberry and Labrador Tea, whilst pride of place went to the discovery of Many- stalked Spike-rush, a native perennial new to the WPM. Great Sundew, Belmont Moor 30 th August 1 Bilberry Bumblebee, Belmont 23 rd June Moving away from vascular plants, a population of the upland specialist Bilberry Bumblebee was confirmed at Belmont and whilst Adder numbers in the east of the WPM were down, a male seen in the west by a competent observer in August, confirmed the continuing presence of a relict population there. The WPM is well known for its important breeding bird populations, particularly of waders and gulls, and 2016 was no exception; with the highpoints probably being the ten species of breeding wader across the area and the fledging of at least 38 juvenile Mediterranean Gulls from within the UK’s largest Black-headed Gullery at Belmont. 2 However, eclipsing all of the above and further to the announcement in the CDNHS February Newsletter (no.

  • CHORLEY RAMBLERS' AGM Tuesday 26Th November 2019 Chorley Cricket Club, Sandringham Road, Chorley, PR7 1LG Mike Wisdom, Chairma
    CHORLEY RAMBLERS’ AGM Tuesday 26th November 2019 Chorley Cricket Club, Sandringham Road, Chorley, PR7 1LG Mike Wisdom, Chairman, introduced himself and opened the formal part of the meeting. There were 33 people in attendance at the AGM and 2 apologies were received. 1/ The notice calling the AGM and describing the matters to be considered today was mailed out to all our members in October 2019. Mike asked that someone move that the reading of this notice now be dispensed with. Proposer - Eileen Entwisle Seconder – Linda Southworth 2/ Approval of the minutes of our last AGM on Tuesday, 27th November 2018. A copy of the minutes can be obtained from our secretary and is also available on our website. Mike asked that someone move that the reading of the minutes held on 27th November 2017 be dispensed with and that they be approved and adopted as presented. Proposer – Dennis Wilson Seconder – Bob Keyburn 3/ Chairman's Report. At last year’s AGM, Mike said he was pleased to announce that Chorley Ramblers had had a very successful year with a substantial increase in membership, reversing the national trend which is still declining. Although this year we have also had a healthy increase in membership, Mike advised that the committee who run the Chorley Ramblers has declined and therefore we are in a critical state. During 2019 three committee members and a volunteer, for various reasons resigned and gratefully, three have joined, but we still have a skeleton board. This is not just unique to us, but common to all clubs relying on volunteers.
