BTS 2006 Lectures

[Kim Pennell]

Next year's date has now been confirmed Saturday 25th February 2006 at The Aztec Hotel, Almondsbury, Bristol.
Lecture line up has yet to be confirmed, but I can assure you it will be as equally as good as this year's, if not better.
I am taking bookings now please see the lecture page under events BTS Lectures
Guest who attended last years event will automatically have a place reserved for them, but you will still need to confirm asap if you will be attending as we have only increased the places by 10 for next years event and we already have had interest from some of our new members.

Mark and I will be at Kempton on Saturday 1st October to promote the lectures and hopefully we will have some confirmed lecturers by this date. Please come and say hello and book your place at the BTS stand.
See you all soon
Take care
Kim

Nice one Mark. If you havn't booked your space yet , then get a move on. Why not treat someone you love ( or even dont love ) to a great day out for Christmas where you can meet some really friendly people and enjoy some excellent lectures. Come on you know it makes sense.

Thanks to all who have booked for the British Tarantula Societies 4th Lectures and Dinner on February 25th at the Aztec Hotel, Bristol. As you are all aware this is going to be the springboard for the Arachnoculurist calender year, with people traveling from all over the UK, Europe and as far a field as the USA! This is an open event and not just for members of the society.

We still have a few places left so if you are interested you need to book and pay for your place by 4th February, an event not to be missed. We will not be able to take bookings on the day. Please follow the link below:
