BMIG Bursaries

BMIG is keen to encourage more members to attend our annual field meetings. We are introducing BMIG Bursaries to help contribute towards the costs of travel and accommodation to join us for the unique experience of our annual field meeting. Informal, interactive and instructive, the annual field meeting offers an opportunity to find out more about millipedes, centipedes and woodlice, including identification and field craft, with the experts and other learners.

Annual Field Meeting 2020

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.

Annual Field Meeting and AGM

  The 2018 meeting location, Longtown, Herefordshire, was chosen to provide attending members with opportunities to go hunting for the ‘Maerdy Monster’ and the ‘Beddau Beast’ amongst other goodies in the Welsh Valleys, the Vale of Glamorgan and beyond to the coast.  We are hopeful that Dr Thomas Wesner, a colleague from the Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig in Bonn, will be able to join us for the weekend, and to talk about genetic bar coding and the technique of micro CT scanning.   We have block‐booked a village pub, The Crown Inn, Longtown, for the weekend.
