With the shifting Covid-19 situation, we have unfortunately needed to change our planned Annual General Meeting and Members’ Evening on Friday 10th December at 7.30pm. It will be the same date and time but taking place online over Zoom, rather than in person as we had hoped.
For more information contact enquiries@lohp.org.uk and we will send you the Zoom details to be able to join us.

All things going well we are hoping to be able to hold this years AGM in person on 10th December 2021 7.30pm at Garboldisham Village Hall.
This years event will be a little bit different to other face to face AGM's as we will not be having any major refreshements, be limiting numbers and taking bookings to keep people safe and so we can contact people if we suddenly have to cancel or governement guidelines change.

After the formal AGM our Conservation Manager, Ellie Beach, will give an update on LOHP activities over the year. The Creative Fen Group will also be displaying some of their work. Please do bring family and friends along – the formal AGM will be brief and will be followed by the annual talk.
This year’s talk is titled 'Heritage Funding to Breeding Bitterns', and will be given by Matt Gooch, the North East Sites Manager for Suffolk Wildlife Trust (SWT) Carlton Marshes. We are asking for a £4.00 contribution from non-members to cover costs. The evening is, of course, free to members.
Look forward to seeing you there. To book your place please email enquiries@lohp.org.uk or phone 07919 912045 - giving your name, number of people attending and contact details email/phone.

The 19th LOHP Annual General Meeting was a change from our usual gathering, needing to take place through members responding by email and post. Thank you to everyone who returned their voting forms.
All items of business were approved without any votes against. The 18th AGM minutes from 2019, along with the Report and financial statements for 2019-20, have all been accepted. Our members also agreed to re-elect the standing Trustee, and in favour of all of the candidates for honorary officers. We are glad to confirm and welcome Dr Rob Robinson as the new LOHP Chair, with Angie Robinson becoming Treasurer. Nigel Clark continues as Vice Chair, and Nick Lingwood continues as Secretary.
There was also one item raised for AOB, about monitoring posts and dipwell tubes, and welcome messages of thanks for what has been done through a testing year. We hope for a safer, and better, 2021, and to be able to welcome you in person to our 20th AGM.
