15th June 2005 - New Group!
At last months FNCV Council meeting, a motion was passed to allow the formation of a new Special Interest Group (SIG). If like many of us you have a keener than average interest in the flying mammals of Victoria, then watch out for activities of the FNCV Bat Group. We have already set up a Yahoo chat group called Friends of Bats Victoria. This was an initiative of FNCV and the Australasian Bat Society (ABS) and we now intend to operate as a SIG with expert support and guidance of the Australasian Bat Society.. So if you'd like to be a part of something new and very exciting then follow the links below.

28th May 2005 - Leaves from our History
This year is our 125th Anniversary. To celebrate this momentous occasion, FNCV is hosting a two-day symposium covering all things field nat. Nearly twenty speakers will be making presentations, discussing topics which range from an overview of the club’s history to the role of women in the FNCV.  This history symposium will be held on the weekend of the 28^th and 29^th May 2005 in the Mueller Hall at the Royal Botanic Gardens, South Yarra.

Unfiortunately the formal dinner scheduled for the Saturday evening has been cancelled (refunds forthcoming to those who have prepaid). Instead nibbles and drinks will be enjoyed as we are entertained by by the Friends of Woodlands Historic Park. The acting group will perform "A Signal Service", a three part playlet.

20th March 2005 - Open Day -On Sunday 20th March, the FNCV will be opening its doors to the public and inviting everyone to come and see what we are about! There will be stalls, displays, showbags and door prizes. Refreshments will be available all day. Slide shows and other presentations will be running every half hour in the library, and there will be plenty of things for the kids to do too! Everyone is welcome! Whether you are a long time or a brand new member, or have just always wondered a Field Naturalist does, come along and we guarantee you'll enjoy yourself!
