  13. Newsletter quote - 1968 “More workers and considerably greater funds are urgently needed to fill the many gaps in our basic knowledge of freshwater environments before civilisation with its multiplicity of polluting and destructive agencies overtakes them irreparably. It is to be hoped that liberal and enlightened attitudes will prevail”. 40 years on – what has changed?

  14. Memorable moments Mike Winterbourn –“My memories are not so erotic” Public forum – ? Ann Chapman – “Scandal” –“…increased domination by non-university members …more management oriented talks and less academic ecology … larger and more expensive conferences … highlights were the field trips where people had opportunity to talk informally”

  15. Today… Vibrant graduates Healthy finances

  16. Today… • Great linkages • Joint conferences • Visiting scientists

  17. Newsletter quote - 1968 “It would however be very dangerous to feel smug at this early stage and we should withhold our congratulations for another two or three years until we are sure that the original enthusiasm has generated a self sustaining body with a continual inflow of members”. CONGRATULATIONS!

Forty years a flowin’ by John Quinn NZFS Society Brings us together like tributaries Into your lake our waters flow As we share what we think we know NZ Limnol Society Started by our visionaries Vida, Ann and Donald Scott Max and Geoff we owe a lot Chorus (all together) Freshwater Society Your waka has room for me Flow river to the sea Freshwater Society

  19.  LimSoc’s always been the one The conference where there’s science and fun We debate as we oughta So we learn about the water Forty years on the waka grows Like the Clutha this river flows No-one’s sure what’s around the bend To the paddles our strength we lend Chorus (all together) Freshwater Society Your waka has room for me Flow river to the sea Freshwater Society Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Limsoc Happy birthday to you
