Shell Sponsored BSRG Postgraduate Weekend - Keswick

Overview:
The second ever BSRG Postgrad Weekend has arrived, and it's going to be even better than last year. If you're a postgrad interested in having a laugh and finding any excuse to go on fieldwork, then you're going to want to come along.

After a superb time last year, we are hoping to get even more of you this year. There'll be pubs, mountains, talks, fieldtrips and the chance to escape for the weekend with loads of like-minded postgrads who want to have a good time. Oh, and did I say it's very, very cheap.

Most of all, you'll have a chance to meet many UK postgrad students, learn about what they research and compare notes before the BSRG AGM at the end of the year. Last year's AGM was great fun because we all knew each other!

The Details:
Dates: weekend of 7 - 9th November 2003
Location: Keswick Youth Hostel, Keswick, Cumbria (accommodation is for bed only)
Transport: Mini buses, will be able to pick up from Kendal and Penrith stations
Price: £40 Including accommodation, transport and field guide, plus the sheer enjoyment of fellow sedimentologist's company.

If you're a sediment-related postgrad (PhD or Masters) or you're a final-year student planning to be a postgrad, send an e-mail to with 'COUNT ME IN' as your subject. Supervisors, please encourage your students to come along. The future of the BSRG community relies on your support and encouragement.

E-mails at the ready? Alright then. On your marks, get set...

Regards,
Phil (BSRG Postgrad Rep)
