14:00 – 17:30: Angela Marmont Centre, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Rd., London SW7 5BD.
Speaker: The President: 'Beachcombing on Vancouver Island: giants and interlopers'.
The marine molluscs of Vancouver Island, BC hold both similarities and differences to those found in the UK, with some familiar families as well as introductions from across the Pacific. The talk will describe a beachcombing trip to some of the shores as well as briefly touching on the land snail fauna.
The lecture will start shortly after 14:00.
Please note the there is building work in the museum, including the entrance hall, and the Diplodocus is away on holiday, so it may take slightly longer to find the Angela Marmont Centre; access to the Museum is from Exhibition Road, or from Queensgate, see http://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit/galleries-and-museum-map/hintze-hall.html.
(Council members please note that there will be a Council meeting before this meeting.)
