Wales Bat Conference

Wales Bat Conference 2011

We are pleased to announce that there will be a Wales Bat Conference this year.   It will take place over the weekend of 2/3 July at the University of Wales, Trinity St David, Carmarthen.  

The programme is being organised by Tom McOwat and we hope to have that finalised shortly but you can be assured of a packed and informative weekend.   There will be fieldwork on evening of 1 July and also on the 2 July looking at woodlands in the Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire areas focussing mainly on the Myotis species and Barbastelle in support of Wales bat BAPs.

There will be  a series of workshops and presentations - if anybody would like to produce a poster or give a presentation then please let Tom (peatmcowat@btinternet.com) and myself (Steve Lucas, slucas@bats.org.uk) know ASAP.

The residential cost will be £125 for the weekend – full board with en-suite accommodation.  If people want to arrange their own accommodation then there will be a reduced cost of £40 per day.

Booking is now open.  Once you have booked, refunds will only be available if we  are able to fill your booking and these will be subject to a 20% administration charge.
