Meetings, meetings

After our inaugural board meeting to agree our company's memorandum and articles, revisions are being incorporated and once agreed by the board we will register the company with companies house.

Tuesday: Detlev Loell from Neptun-Peenemuende shipyard will be visiting to inspect the space at Milford Haven on which we will build the replica Beagle.

Thursday: Beagle Project founders will be travelling to London for a meeting at the Natural History Museum. We'll be meeting all the other British organizations which will be participating in the celebrations of 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth.

Friday: Meetings with the Charles Darwin Trust. Part of the reason for building the replica Beagle is to celebrate the life and achievements of Darwin, who said "The voyage aboard the Beagle has been by far the most important event of my life and ha determined my whole career." Then we are meeting members of the Nuffield Foundation to discuss the science education which will take place on and around the replica Beagle. More on the outcome of each meeting later.
