It will run from 10:00am to 4.20pm at the Lecture Hall, Bournemouth Natural Science Society. 39 Christchurch Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH1 3NS.

Times Flies

It must seem like a short time has passed since the last meeting, only a year ago. Nonetheless, it will draw a huge audience that causes a lot of fervent discussion in scientific breakthroughs and conservation.

On the agenda are topics that will captivate the most professional of herpetologist. Namely, the 'human-snake conflict and coexistence in Goa India' by the University of Kent and 'assessing the impact of anthropogenic disturbance on herpetofauna species composition in the humid Chaco habitat of Ñeembucú, Paraguay' by the Queens University, Belfast, stand out as interesting international subjects.

All Types of Social Gatherings

A laid-back warm-up to proceedings is made through a meal evening (to your own extra expense) on the Friday night before. This would be the perfect opportunity to ease your way into the circle and, more importantly, have fun chatting to fellow Herptile enthusiasts. Breaks are included also in coffee and lunch to keep minds rejuvenated throughout the meeting.

We won't be attending this year's occasion but will be notifying you, the reader, on it's success, once we know.
