CCG and National Moth Night Dusk – 11pm total 24 moths, 9 species.

Hoffman kiln. Sat 11 Aug 2007.

This was a great success for the seven people came - Especial thanks to Rodney Hooper for bringing and setting up his own equipment and for making the list of moths, to Judith Allinson for agreeing to be the "organiser" and who brought the CCG moth trap, (although no moths actually landed in it,) to the people who live at the Hoffman Kiln for letting us use their electricity, to Dave Fisher for being another knowledgeable Moth person, and to CCG members Andrew and Mrs Holden (Andrew helped Judith attach the CCG moth trap leads to her car battery) and to Ken and Angela Barton. See also the video on CCG’s website.

Below: Judith had been away for a week and in the afternoon on the way back had attended the Climate March in Leeds. (Most of the other CCG “organisers” were away on holiday)	Rodney has been setting up a moth trap at CCG member Clarice and Roland Howorth’s at Rathmell and invited CCG members to go out with him as he looked at the moths. Judith publicised this by email and went on two occasions that week.
