AES Members' Day and AGM 2010

Event description

Our 75th Anniversary Members' Day will involve talks, workshops, displays, member exhibits, tours and a children's insect craft table.

There will also be a chance to meet museum staff and find out what is available throughout the year at the new Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity, in the new Darwin Building extension at London's Natural History Museum.

Speakers include:

• Stuart Hine, Natural History Museum: 'The Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity'

The AGM will last approximately 20 minutes. If you are interested in joining the AES council then you can stand at the AGM. Your Society needs people who are prepared to actively commit their energy, enthusiasm, experience or expertise - or all of the above! - to help move the Society forward.
