Microscopists' Weekend, Preston Montford

Post by gpmatthews »

I've just this week returned from a weekend at Preston Montford, near Shrewsbury, Shropshire, UK. It was an excellent opportunity to meet other microscopists as well as indulge in some walking, extensive eating, and a little(!) socialising in the bar.

Here is a link to a slide show of the weekend:

Thanks for the link. One of the beauties of England is the meetings and and expertise of like-minded 'natural history types'. I fondly recall AES and LNHS meetings/field trips/exhibitions in the 50's. Canada is eons behind, there is some interest in Odonates and Butterflies but Natural History clubs, at least locally, means bird watching :(

Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”
