Welcome

We are a society that meets each Monday evening from September through to March to enjoy a programme of talks based around a wide variety of natural history subjects. During the Summer months we also meet on Monday evenings for a walk round local sites of interest.
If you share a similar enthusiasm in natural history come along and join us. Please do not feel you need to be an expert in any particular field, all levels of inexperience are welcome!

Charlotte Caffrey, a diver and marine scientist, is a familiar figure at British diving events in the south of England, with talks about diving in the Arctic and the Antarctic.

In this particular talk the above water voyage focuses on the spectacular fjords and islands of North Spitzbergen, which offer incredible numbers of birds in early summer and chance encounters with Walruses, Reindeer, Arctic foxes, Ringed and Bearded Seals and Polar Bears. Similar encounters will be recounted in Greenland and on and under the Antarctic Peninsula.
*
Demand for this event is likely to be high, so if you would like to send a post-dated cheque (September 1st 2010), made payable to "The Preston Society" along with a SAE, to:
