Meeting report

The 2010 Autumn Meeting was held in the Natural History Museum (NHM), a familiar location for many visiting bryologists, but a first as the venue for an official BBS occasion. Over 40 members and guests attended and it was good to welcome again Herman Stiperaere from the Nationale Plantentum van België. The fact that his journey to London took far less time than several others travelling should perhaps remind us that continental Europe is now very accessible for future meetings.

In perfect weather, 14 members joined the Sunday excursion to sample some of the 141 species recorded from Hampstead Heath situated less than 10 miles from the centre of London.
