Tasmanian Midwinter Dinner 2010

Picture
Many thanks to Michael Carr for organising a successful Tasmanian Midwinter dinner. With 120 people attending there was a real buzz in the air and plenty of mingling and laughter. It was a bit of a reunion extravaganza with groups from Macquarie Island 1970, 1990 and 2000 as well as Mawson 1954 and 2003. Photographs from the night can be viewed here. A list of 2010 MWD attendees can be viewed here.

In addition to our usual interesting expeditioners and partners there were a number of 'special' guests including Lyn Maddock (director of the AAD and now a veteran of all 4 Australian stations and master slushy), Mark Tucker (Deputy Secretary to Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts and Davis 82 expeditioner), Jon Stephenson (member of the 1955-58 Trans-Antarctic expedition with Bunny Fuchs) and Ralph 'Noddy' Fletcher (President of ANARE Club).

Both Lyn and Noddy gave short, personable and well received presentations. Our guest speaker, botanist Dana Bergstrom, gave a very interesting presentation discussing evidence of climate change in the subantarctic regions.
