Key dates for 2010

Saturday 18th September 2010 – Episkopi Fete!

We shall be taking a stall at the Episkopi Fete which is to be held at Happy Valley sports fields in Episkopi from 11am to 4pm.  The purpose is both to spread information about what we do and also to raise funds towards our turtle population survey costs for 2011.  If you can lend a hand by helping to man the stall for half an hour or by either donating a tombola or raffle prize do please get in touch.  If you would like simply to find out more about us do drop by and say hello on the day.

Wednesday 26th May 2010- Those boots are made for walking!

The start of this year’s walking rota.  If you haven’t done so already go to the rota page and sign yourself up for a bit of early morning exercise.  You will need to open a google account if you don’t already have one.  This is free, quick and easy and so far as we are aware has no harmful side effects!

We would appreciate it if one of you could find a nest on the 26th as it will make a nice present for David, one of our co-ordinators, who will be celebrating his 60th birthday then!

Saturday 29 May 2010- Beach Clean up

We will be joining forces with Cyprus “Young Greens” to participate in “Clean up the Med” weekend.  The venue is Curium once more since this has suffered the most from the recent stormy weather.  We shall be meeting at the St Ermogenis Taverna at 9am.  The Taverna is on the right hand side of the road down to the beach next to the monastry which is signposted from the main coast road.   We will be starting our clean near the old fish farm on the beach and working towards Akrotiri.  There is plenty of rubbish for all and your help would be greatly appreciated.  The ground is very uneven so sensible footwear is a must.   Sun protection is also advisable.  We will supply water, gloves and bags for you.  Please email info@episkopiturtlewatch.com for more information and to let us know that you will be attending.  Thanks!
