What People Say
About BSES:
You never know how far you can push yourself until you try but it's always further than you think. Marianne Gelister (Extreme Arctic YE) Definitely go. The fundraising is difficult but also rewarding. The expedition itself is of great benefit to the children. Andrew Phillips (Father of Matthew) Don't hesitate. Go For It! Jack Bayliss (Father of Ilona) Very well. Informative briefing letters. A useful and enjoyable training weekend. Elizabeth and Ian Baker (Parents of Claire, Greenland) Extremely well - both on paper and at the briefing weekend the preparation was sensible, thorough, and well pitched to its audience. Melanie Whitlock (Mother of Louisa, Greenland YE) Excellent briefing. Information was both practical and realistic, straight talking, no nonsense approach gave a good picture of what the expedition would be like. Linda Hendrie (Mother of Ryan, Greenland YE) |

BSES Expeditions celebrated its 75th Anniversary in 2007 and we are looking to re-engage with as many past members as possible in order to help us celebrate and to continue the development of the Society. We are aware of many different grades and free years of membership that have evolved in the past, and are now asking all members to subscribe at the same rate so that we can continue to meet the costs of running the Society and keep providing you with members' benefits.
There are now just two types of membership at BSES:
Expedition Members - £15
For all those that have participated in a BSES Expedition.
