Never in the field of human conflict has one little orange coloured man meddled so much for self aggrandisement to the benefit of so few, himself. His yearning, nay demands for the Nobel peace prize, is so undignified in the extreme!

It has been a sad yet inspiring year organising BENHS workshop calendar for 2023 and 2024. I undertook the roll after my predecessor and friend Steve Lings sadly died in March. I used Steve's great spirit and enthusiasm to drive me on. Here is yesterdays workshop review.

One of my hats is Indoor workshop organizer for BENHS - British Entomological and Natural History Society, Dinton Pastures, Nr. Reading. Todays workshop was Tachinid Flies, tutors Matt Smith and Chris Raper. I was well enjoyed by all, much learning done and many skills to be used hereafter . . .

Interested in appropriately focussed and referenced invertebrate conservation? Then please avoid this garbage. Mailed, X'd and met with WWF-UK people and funnily enough they don't get back. Something to do with knowing their marketing consultants "Snake Oil Inc." have sold em a dud idea.
