Two places have unexpectedly become available on the week-end
spider identification workshop being organised by Kate Hawkins ( former
curator of Natural History at the Manx Museum). It starts off at Defa
HQ, St. Johns about 09.30 ish on Saturday 29th June and concludes the
next day. There will be both field work and lab work with microscopes
etc. The sessions have been arranged so that MWT members can still
attend the AGM on Saturday afternoon and ticket holders for the
Invertebrate talk which follows the AGM likewise. If you think you
might like to go along either for one or both days please contact Kate
for the full programme details on
I'm going along in the hope of learning much more about the spiders I spot at Ballachurry Reserve and elsewhere.
