The aim of the day is to provide an overview of
work being done in the eastern region, together with an understanding of the
rationale behind it :~ As usual, we have assembled an impressive selection of distinguished speakers for the day and, if you have particular questions that you would like answered, why not write them down and send them in for the ‘Question Time’ session in the
afternoon?, This is a rare opportunity to discuss ideas with the experts and to
take part in debate on aspects of this, sometimes controversial, subject.
This is not a meeting at which you are ‘talked at’ by the ‘experts’; there is time during breaks, over lunch and in the question time session to take part and
discuss your views with others. The organizations taking part will
benefit from feedback on their new ideas and proposals, so there should be a
two-way flow of information.
SNS wishes to acknowledge the financial support of
English Nature for this meeting. This support enables us to keep the ticket
price down to a level which is accessible to any interested naturalist. Martin Sanford, Conference Organizer

Those
who have attended past conferences will know that Ipswich School
provides excellent facilities and that the catering is very good value for
money. Although the hall takes about 400 people we have been over-subscribed
for several meetings in the past - so book early to avoid disappointment.
