thumbup Hello! Well I've stuck my head up over the parapet. Since joining the DPS last February at FOCUS, the DPS site has been a regular stopping off point. Along with the In Focus magazine it has encouraged my love of Photography. However, rather than going on about me, I thought I would let you know of a venue near where I live. It is run by Sandwell Council in the bostin Black Country (that's the West Midlands for the uninitiated) and known as "Sandwell Valley Park Farm". The web site address is www.laws.sandwell.gov.uk where you will find a link to the farm and other information about the Sandwell Valley site. The Park farm is free admission during the week and on weekend's there is the exorbitant entrance price of £1.50 (£1.00 for over 60's). You can get round fine with a wheelchair or scooter and the staff can open other entrances if needed. There are various events on during the year and there is also a RSPB site linked to the valley.
