'A society, once formed, is quite free and independent, except that it is guided by a minimum of rules drawn up by the Federation of Old Cornwall Societies, on which it is represented by delegates and to which it pays a nominal affiliation fee. It does, however, plan its own work to suit its size, situation and membership, and fixes its own subscriptions. Meetings are held once a month during the winter, when talks, sometimes with slides, and also other indoor activities are enjoyed ...'

‘The Cornwall branch of the BSA was formed in 2016, initially with just a few postgrad students from Exeter and a handful of local business and science-related groups, such as the Falmouth Polytechnic, Fo.am, Cornwall College, the Royal Society for Chemistry, the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, and the Falmouth Café Scientifique. From 2018, with a whole new committee, we are now in a position to start to grow, reach out and make connections with other groups and societies, from schools to the Chamber of Commerce, Eden to Goonhilly. Cornwall BSA is open to all with an interest in science, in science communication, citizen science, and cross-sector collaborations.’

Groups located throughout the county include: Launceston, Bodmin, Liskeard, Wadebridge, Roseland.

Occasional indoor meetings, often organized with the local RSPB Group.

'In order to meet the objectives the society holds regular lectures and visits to gardens and shows within the county and beyond.'

'Everyone is welcome to attend our events which are held all over Cornwall. Events range from walks and talks to working parties and evening get togethers.'

Organize 'a varied programme of events in locations across the region including site visits, lectures and social events from South West Cornwall to North Devon'. Enquire about attendance.
