Meeting report

The 2017 Autumn Meeting was held in Cambridge, the fourth time this meeting has been held in the city. Last time we met in the ‘distinguished and refined’ surroundings of Downing  College; this time our venue was the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), where we enjoyed the use of their bright new conference facilities in the Aurora Centre. Our thanks are due to BAS for making these freely available. The meeting commemorated the centenary of the birth of the Cambridge bryologist Harold Whitehouse (1917–2000).
