Volunteering
If you think that we should be doing something different, or if you have ever thought "if only ..." contact us and share your thoughts.
Helping out the society is not arduous and is fun and rewarding. The AES Council meets four times a year to discuss operational matters. There are several named positions on council (for example, secretary, treasurer and general editor) but there are also elected officer positions. These officers have no specific remit but help out wherever they can with the running of the AES. If you're interested in joining Council or have further questions please contact us.
Even if you don't want to join the Council, there are still many ways in which you can help, for example:
- Recruit more members for the Society
- Write an article for the Bulletin or the Bug Club Magazine
- 'Man' a stall advertising the Society at a local fete or show
- Help out at our annual exhibitions
- Send in a review of an entomological book
- Arrange an insect-related visit with a local school
- Record insects in your locality and tell us what you observed
- Advise your local Council when planning applications are likely to have an adverse effect on insect habitats
- Help to raise insect awareness and dissipate fear...
If you want to volunteer to help the society please contact us.
