LAST CHANCE TO BOOK YOUR PLACE AT THE GALA DINNER AND CEILIDH AT GLAMIS CASTLE
This week could be your last chance to book your place at the Island Invasives Conference Gala Dinner and Ceilidh. This event will be held at spectacular Glamis Castle (
www.glamis-castle.co.uk) - a 30 minute journey from Dundee into rural Angus, with fabulous views along the way. Coach transportation will be provided in both directions, with a drop off at the conference hotels at the end of the night.
Featuring hog roasts, freshly-harvested haggis, a fine vegetarian spread, pipers, dancers and a ceilidh (irresistible, traditional Scottish dancing for the uninitiated), this is a don't-miss event. Bars will be available for the purchase of wines, beers and, of course, an excellent range of Scotch whiskies.
Numbers must be capped by the end of the week, so please buy your tickets now to avoid disappointment, at
This will be the third in a series of international conferences focussed on invasive alien species (IAS) on islands, their impact and management. It follows those held in Auckland, New Zealand, in 2001 and 2010*. The Dundee conference will therefore be the first such meeting for seven years, and the first to be held in the northern hemisphere.
