These are informal meetings, from 11:00 am until around 4:00 pm usually. Enthusiasts from a range of groups meet and record at a certain site, sometimes with a target species in mind, often just exchanging information on their specialism while enjoying a good day out in the field. If SMG members wish to trap in these locations on the evening before the meeting, they will need to make arrangements with the owner(s).
