Meeting Reminder


Next Meeting -  April 3 - The Presenter will be Curt Nason, one of the founders of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada New Brunswick Centre in Saint John.


His talk is entitled: Rainbows, Halos and Northern LightsThere is more to see in the sky than just the Moon, planets and stars; even in the daytime. We just need to look up at the right time to see rainbows, colourful things that some people mistakenly think are rainbows, and Nature's neon lights, which are named for the Roman goddess of dawn. This presentation will explain what causes rainbows, halos and auroras, and how we can anticipate them.

Hello to all present and prospective members of the Fredericton Nature Club.

Thanks to an increase in membership, the enthusiasm of members, and a wide variety of presentations and outings, 2024 was a good year for our club. Autumn 2024 was notable with planning for the club year completed ahead of time, with a social time at the beginning of meetings, and special events like the two-part birdwatching workshops.

At the same time, with more events and tighter scheduling, there is a risk of conflict in planning and a greater need for consultation with the executive. Therefore, the club executive came up with the idea of an event-planning form not only for the sake of planning but also because of insurance concerns. The executive will review this form, and applicants will receive an email response. 


Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.


Regards,

The FNC Executive
