Those who attended our Centenary Return Dinner in 2013 will need no introduction to Dr David Wilson our guest speaker for this year’s event.

With over 15 years experience on Expedition cruise ships, David is in great demand both as an ornithological field guide and polar historian.

He boasts numerous explorers and ornithologists on his family tree, which add a uniquely personal flavour to many of his talks.

Not least amongst these was his great uncle Dr. Edward Wilson who was on both of Captain Scott’s Antarctic Expeditions and famously led the “Worst Journey in the World” to Cape Crozier in search of penguin eggs.

With a vast range of topics the committee is currently finalising the title of David’s talk.

Early booking advised!
