Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic situation, it has not been possible to hold face-to-face indoor meetings. However, we are very pleased to invite you to join an interesting programme of online meetings using the ‘Zoom’ platform. Please see our Zoom user guide for Conchological Society meetings and a note on Zoom etiquette.
ONLINE ‘EXHIBITS’: members are invited to address the meeting for a maximum of four minutes to show an exhibit or speak briefly on a mollusc-related theme. Anyone wishing to do this please e mail the Hon. Secretary, Rosemary Hill (secretary@conchsoc.org) in advance of the meeting. Note that for each meeting the number of speakers will be limited to the first five applicants.
PLEASE NOTE: a) many of us have been on a steep ‘learning curve’ regarding the use of online meeting software, so please be patient and prepared to forgive any glitches which may occur! b) We will be at the mercy of internet connections and cannot therefore guarantee connectivity; if for technical reasons the online meeting ‘crashes’ or is unable to take place we will endeavour to reschedule.
