British Myriapod and Isopod Group Residential Field Weekend and AGM
CANCELLED
BMIG’s annual gathering in 2020 will be based near Bridgwater in Somerset. We have not visited this county for over 30 years. Bridgwater is ideally placed for easy access to the Somerset coast and to areas of varied geology and topography – Mendip Hills, Somerset Levels, Polden and Quantock Hills. Further west is Exmoor National Park and to the south the Blackdown Hills AONB. We have block-booked two student accommodation units at the Cannington Campus of Bridgwater & Taunton College, offering up to 20 single en-suite rooms, full catering and a meeting room. The Campus is about 5 miles west of Bridgwater and is served by regular buses from the town centre. Bridgwater is on the Bristol Temple Meads to Taunton line with trains approximately every hour. The M5 bypasses Bridgwater, but Junctions 23 (from North) and 24 (from South) are close. Programme – As usual, permissions will have been arranged for access to several sites. Evening events may include a guest speaker, one or two informal talks, and the AGM. Offers of talks, workshops, etc are welcome – see below. Bookings will be accepted on the basis of the full 3-day package: 3 x dinner, 3 x bed & breakfast and 2 x packed lunch (not Sunday). Dinner is two courses (main and dessert) and a hot drink. The cost, per person, for the full 3-day package will be £185.00.
