There is nothing that islanders like quite so much as a smaller island, and Britain is liberally supplied with these. Depending on your definition - mud flat? sandbank? populated? - there are thousands to choose from: 200 in the Thames and its estuary alone, seven Channel Islands (or Îles Anglo-Normandes, if you want to be European about it), 900 off Scotland and 50 off Wales. We’re not called the British Isles for nothing. Join Sophie for some gentle island hopping, from black houses in the Outer Hebrides to dinosaur country off the south coast of England, and from rock’n’roll near Twickenham to oyster beds off Essex.

Virtual Soirée presentation procedure:

Dana and our guide will arrive at the meeting 10 minutes in advance for those of you who would like to say hello and make sure your zoom settings are ready. The presentation will start promptly at the scheduled hour, and Dana will begin the meeting by muting the microphones and introducing our speaker. The talk will be recorded.  The lecture will last about 45 minutes and afterward Dana will moderate a Q&A session. If you show up late, no worries, you will be muted upon entry.

After the tour, you will receive a follow-up email with a recording of the event. You will be able to access this recording until September 30, 2022.
