When: Tue, 20 August, 7:30pm – 9:30pm

Description:
FORAMINIFERA OF BRITISH BEACHES by Ian Wilson. I read an old (1882 I think) journal of the PMS recently and there was an article about separating forams from sand by flotation. Itâ€™s really easy, messy enough to be fun and produces a concentrated sample of forams which I thought was pretty impressive and can be viewed with stereo and compound microscopes. I hope to have a seaside holiday between now and then too so can collect and dry a bucketful of sand â€“ enough for everyone.

Historic battles have taken place here, famous people have been married here and royalty has visited.
The stained glass is beautiful, the Soldier’s Chapel delightful and the stories even more intriguing.
