THE 12~(TH) ANNUAL BTS LECTURES, AZTEC HOTEL, BRISTOL 22~(ND) FEBRUARY 2014

摘要

We have just returned from a very long and tiring but ultimately brilliant weekend. The BTS Lectures are now in their 12~(TH) year and have gone from strength to strength as the years have gone by From the early beginnings when Mark and Kim suggested the idea, it has grown from a tiny seed into a mighty tree. All credit must go to them. They had the foresight to see that providing arachnological lectures was a viable option. I am so glad that we, as a committee, took them up on their offer to organise them all those years ago. This year was special. We had an amazing, well-balanced and diverse group of lectures and good mix of attendees from the academic arachnologist to the grass-roots tarantula keeper. All hadcome to listen and, hopefully, enjoy some fine lectures.
