Monthly meetings

March to November, first Wednesday of each month, 8 pm.
We invite guest speakers to address us on topical and stimulating issues. Although the speaker is always a recognised expert in their own field, the talks are aimed at a general audience. Before the meeting we invite young scientists to give a curtain raiser speech about their work.

Here is the current calendar of meetings for this year. If you are not member and so haven't received the latest newsletter, you might like to check the details are correct by contacting a Council member (or you could join up and get your own newsletter to remind you!).

Monthly newsletter

There is an informative monthly newsletter listing coming events and items of interest.

Field trips

Day and weekend field trips have been a successful part of branch life for many years. We have been fortunate to have many expert scientists guiding these field trips, and have gained access to sites and locations not normally accessible to the general public.

Library

Full financial members of the branch can have access to the University of Canterbury Library. Details of access are available through the treasurer.

Science Fair Support

As part of its role of promoting the understanding of science and technology, the RSNZCB supports prizes at the Canterbury-Westland Science Fair.
This year the Society is offering four prizes, all for an equal value of $150 at the Canterbury Westland Science Fair 2007
The prizes will be awarded for Excellence in Experiment Design, Approach and Interpretation.
