CORONAVIRUS UPDATE – THURSDAY 5th NOVEMBER 2020

COVID-19 Restrictions on NOA Reserves Further to the announcement of a second lockdown in order to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus, the NOA must once again close all hides on its nature reserves from 5th November. While we would discourage anyone from travelling too far during this crucial time, our reserves themselves will remain open for local visitors and usual charges will apply for non-members. Please follow government advice, and respect social distancing at all times. We will restore access to our facilities as and when government restrictions permit. We are very grateful for your understanding and support.

NEW WINDOWS WORK COMPLETE

After Timber Windows Norfolk installed our lovely new ali-clad Obs windows 2 weeks ago, and new signage is in place courtesy of Steward Safety Supplies, the makeover is now completed. The view is superb, and it's given our little building a new lease of life.
