Open Evening @ GXSA

For one night only, we’re throwing open our doors to anybody that’s interested in Gerrards Cross Sailing Association, or the Military History of Ascension Island, and the Bird-Life that has developed around this isolated island. Everyone is welcome! Free Entry, tonight.

We look forward to meeting you

John’s Talk

You probably know that Ascension Island is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. You probably know very little about it’s History, or Wildlife!

With the aid of stunning images, John will tell stories of Ascension Island’s history and its birds.  Boobies and Noddies are among the amazing seabirds that nest on Ascension Island and they have little fear of people.  Sadly, the seabird populations have declined dramatically.  John reveals how a team of citizen scientists from the Army Ornithological Society have discovered some of the causes of the decline, and found ways of restoring the population..  

Free, Tonight. Normally: Visitors £5, CA members £4
