2009 Lecture comments and opinions (please post)

[Nicola Dolby]

Hope you catch the little so-and-so Eddy. Sounds like everyone had a lovely time which is great to hear. Like Colin I couldn't make it this year but I hope to be there next time. It will be great to see "The Management" again! (are you reading this Mr. Hale!)

[Phil Rea]

Thanks everyone for a fantastic weekend. i just have one question: who was the scallywag that was sleeping during my lecture?? i jest you not. i heard snoring.

Eddy

I didn't hear any snoring, and I didn't fall asleep either, so it wasn't me

Got to agree with the previous comments, it was a great lecture Eddy

Hectic few days, Cheers to Mark and Kim, and all the lecturers, especially Eddy for giving me his "disease", and Stewart for his dads BMW

Chris and Eric got to the Airport yesterday OK, and last night had my first full nights sleep since last Wed.

Right onto emails,

Waiting for Richards images as he took the official pictures. My ones I have posted on facebook. Will put a few up here later tonight.

I am sure I did see a lot of cameras flashing and thought some one may have posted a few images..

It was my first time to the lectures and I enjoyed it. I will definately go again to the next one. I met some really nice people. I also found it nice to meet the faces behind the team who put together our bts journals and dedicate so much time to helping us. I would like to take the time to thank Mark and Kim for organising such a super day out which gave me a chance to unwind and forget our daily problems and worries for a bit. I'm glad I have become a part of this network of dedicated people for the wellfare of tarantulas. I just find it is such a shame that the whole world is against what we here have all come to love and understand, that spiders are less scary than your average pet dog at home. Surley the next documentary on the TV should be about how stupid the rest of the world is for being frightened of such creatures that without them we would be over run with insects and horrid bugs because I have come to the conclusion that I would prefere to have spiders rather than flies around my home.

hear, hear!!
Mark and Kim are legends and did a great job, and spiders are wonderful creatures, and i agree...dogs can do some damage!!! i love dogs, but spiders are usually safer if you respect them!

Well I have just posted up my images in the BTS Gallery


Just a few pictures from the social side of things. RG has all the good lecturer and group shot pictures - I hope.

Cheers

Are the Lecture Notes going to be made available?

As an overseas member, I cannot get to the lectures, though I would love to...!
