I have recently moved to Alresford and there is a registered crossing in my town and I am planning to help take up the coordination of the crossing patrol - so I wanted to know how other people are doing with theirs and whether people would be interested in confirming registered sites in their local area Please email me Jcranfield@arg-uk.org.uk Regards Jon Vice Chair of ARG UK - self employed consultant - visit ARG UK & Alresford Wildlife

Many thanks to Sue, Gina, Cressida, Katie and Mark who were helping last night. We would still need more volunteers to help with our patrol so if anyone is around Winchester we would be pleased for people's help... Also I can order toad patrol high visibility vests for ARG UK affilated groups (see picture) If anyone who is helping with a toad patrol on behalf of an ARG who have signed up to the ARG UK insurance scheme (which covers toad patrols) then I can send you the above high vis which can be in three sizes - S, M and L Just pm for more info Jon Vice Chair of ARG UK - self employed consultant - visit ARG UK & Alresford Wildlife
