Members Night (Saturday 10 Jan. 1998)
Although Mr. Stewart Forbes was a substitute speaker at the last moment as the other speaker could not make it he unselfishly lugged his slide projector and shells from Lumut to the new venue, the YMCA Lecture Hall, and gave a talk on marine molluscs. This included information on various types of marine molluscs, their structure, lifestyle and habitats together with some slides and a selection of shell specimens for members to examine. In addition he spoke in great detail on shell collecting, treatment and preservation. Members were so enthralled with the beautiful slides shown and the irresistible invitation to examine the many specimens that they forgot to give him a round of applause. Okay we will reserve it on Fellowship night.
