Dear Member of this forum
Sorry I have been away for some time. I am getting close to my busy season of travelling, so I have disregard some of these activities.
I am posting a nice pic of T. geometricus. I know it is a plant that many people like, and it is great to see its true shape and colour in nature.
I am taking this opportunity to find out the possibility of giving a presentation (or two) at your club. I am planning a trip to Europe in 2007 (possible August-September). During this trip I will be giving presentations to some clubs in Germany regarding some genera (Parodia, Trichocereus) or a general talk on Argentinean cacti.
I have a B.S. degree in Biology, and a Doctorate degree in Botany, so my presentations can be either very scientific (taxonomic if you wish), more generalist, with many habitat photos, or a combination of both approaches
I was wandering if you belong to a club that might be interested in these presentations. In order to pay for the expenses of my trip, clubs in America, usually paid me from 150-200 dollars for these presentations. Please let me know if you belong to a club that might be interested and that could contribute some money for some of my expenses if I make it to England.
I could give you some references of people who attended my presentations in the USA, so you can find out about the contents and quality of the presentations.
I will try a formal letter to the different branches of the BCSS.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
If anybody uses MSN chat, you can add me with gcondor@hotmail.com
All the best,
Guillermo

Hi Guillermo
I spoke to the secretary of our branch and he is about to fix the programme for next year. We can't afford as much as the Americans (who can?) but he says can you fax him as soon as possible? E-mail me and I'll give you the details. He might be able to help you connect with other local branches too, for example Exeter and Bristol.
