International Glaciology Society - British Branch Meeting:
Evening of Wednesday 15th to Friday 17th September, 2010.

Aberystwyth University's Centre for Glaciology is delighted to host
the 35th annual meeting of the IGS - British Branch.

The meeting will informally kick off on Wednesday evening with a wine
reception at IGES to celebrate a public lecture by Professor John Glen -
"Sixty years in glaciology".

The meeting will formally commence at 10am, Thursday and will close
after lunch, Friday 17th to allow sufficient travel time home from
Aberystwyth.

Details, including information on registration, presentations, abstract
submission, accommodation, dinner & funding assistance for students can
be found at: www.aber.ac.uk/en/iges/igsbb2010

The deadline for abstracts and registration is Monday, 30th August, 2010.

Registration costs £30 (£20 for students/unwaged) & delegates are encouraged
to attend the annual dinner which includes an adventurous train ride (up &
down!), a 3-course meal and wine, and is very reasonably priced at £30
(£25).  Prof Martyn Tranter will be rounding up the year's cryospheric
activities & a late bar with cask ales will be provided.

As always, presentations are welcome on all aspects of snow and ice
research. We particularly encourage all students and any research visitors
to the UK to come along & present their findings.

We look forward to seeing you in Aberystwyth this September.  Get your
registration & abstracts in now to avoid that 9am -  Friday morning - slot.
