Lochwinnoch Out of SchoolClub PricesUnfortunately there was a mistake inthe prices given in last month'sChatterbox regarding spare spaces andprices for child care places at LOSC.The Breakfast Club runs from 07.35amto 09.00am and is £3.75 a session (not£3.35 as stated previously). The AfterSchool Club runs from 3.00pm to6.00pm. It's £7.00 per day to 5.00pmand £10.50 to 6.00pm (not £10 as wasstated last month). Sorry about anyconfusion that arose as a result of this.Paul Cameron, the Vice Chair of theLOSC committee would like tohighlight that was no fault on the partof Chatterbox rather it was a mistakeby a committee member (i.e. himself)who was in a bit too much of a rush.There are still some spaces availablefor new children in the New Year.

Three cameras have beenfilming the otters on Castle SempleLoch. We have filmed a family ofotters (female and 3 cubs), a male andfemale pair-bonding and the malecatching eels. A total of 6 otters in allhave been caught on camera.In December the footage started to beshown in the visitor centre with thehelp of volunteer and student Katewho has been studying the otters forher dissertation. She has filmed somelovely behaviour and has also foundout that the otters are mainly eatingeels and perch.Sadly our big male, Bob, was run overby a car on the 17th of November.Hopefully another male will move intothe area and we hope to pick up hisarrival on camera.Elsewhere we have been filmingbadgers and roe deer as well ascatching a few surprises on camerasuch as a weasel and a woodcock.
