We are pleased to announce a ONE-DAY SYMPOSIUM
INSECTS AND THE CHANGING SCENE:
commemorating the life and work of
Peter Skidmore PhD FRES
on
Saturday 2nd October 2010
at
Doncaster Museum, Chequer Road, Doncaster, DN1 2AE
This symposium celebrates the life and work of Peter Skidmore,
a notable entomologist, conservationist and illustrator.
Peter was Keeper of Natural Sciences at Doncaster Museum for almost 30 years.
There are linked symposium themes of entomology and conservation, reflecting two central aspects of Peter’s life. Some of Peter’s artwork will be on show, and folders of his prints will be for sale.
The Symposium fee has been reduced from £25 to £12.50 (including refreshments, buffet lunch and delegate pack), as initial estimates of costs for several components proved to be too high. We therefore wish to pass on the savings to delegates. Note that delegates who have already paid will receive a proportional refund. Cheques should be made out to the Thorne & Hatfield Moors Conservation Forum.
If you wish to attend it would be very helpful if you could book as soon as possible. This would help greatly in final planning and catering, and ensure that you secure a place.
