New branches launching this year June 4, 2009

To provide more local events for the public, and opportunities for people to get involved in science communication, we are launching two further new branches this year in the South.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight
Based in Southampton, the branch will aim to target diverse audiences across the county with a range of events including lectures, science cafes, hands-on exhibitions and more. We hope to provide opportunities for the branch to partner with local organisations to broaden event appeal and resources.  Launches late Summer.

Bedfordshire/Milton Keynes Branch
We are re-estabilishing the old Bedfordshire branch in Milton Keynes with a bigger group of branch members. If you’re keen to broaden your event organising skills, or have been involved or been to the Milton Keynes Science Festival and want more, then get in touch and let us know! The volunteer induction meeting will be taking place in late June.

If you’re interested in joining our branches and organising innovative and exciting public engagement programmes then get in touch with the Regional Office (dan.richards@britishscienceassociation.org). Alternatively, if you aren’t already a British Science Association Supporter and would like to hear about events that take place in these areas then you can sign up here
