Bug Hotel Competition (2023)
Judging 14th May 2023
​
We would like members to design and construct a Bug Hotel which will ultimately take up residence either on their allotment or at home in a garden. Bug Hotels should not exceed 50cm x 50cm x 50cm and will be judged during the DAS AGM on Sunday 14th May 2023 at Fleet Meadow Hall. Everybody attending the AGM will be asked to vote for their favourite bug hotel.
​
Please bear in mind, if you plan to enter this competition, you will be required to bring your creation to the AGM for judging, we will be unable to accept entries in any other way.
​
Bug Hotels should be filled with natural materials, here are some useful websites for guidance and ideas:-

​
We can't wait to see some fantastic designs, ready for some creepy crawlies to check-in to over the summer!
