There will also be visiting stalls from neighbouring societies and a fully-equipped research area available for use.

The programme of events starts at 9am with registration and refreshments and lunch will be available.

“Each year this event is very well-attended and attracts interest from far and wide,” said publicity officer Alan Turner.
