About Us

Nationally there are very few amateur microscopy clubs or groups and previously there has been only one in East Anglia, the Iceni Microscopy Study Group based at Bergh Apton, which is a small village to the east of Norwich. The next nearest is now at Cambridge and this has left a huge geographical area where no groups exist, despite there being interest in the subject from many natural history, beekeeping or similar groups. The new Anglian Microscopy Group is being managed by a trio of experienced and enthusiastic microscopists to fill this void with a resource for all interested members of the public to enjoy for free, at a location that has good access links to the regional road network.

We are based at Crowfield Village Hall, approximately 10 minutes drive from the junction of the A14 and A140 (junction 51 of the A14). The hall is of a good size with plenty of parking outside, easily accessible for carrying equipment from vehicles into the hall, and facilities for making refreshments. Details of our meetings programme are shown below, meetings start at 10am and will run until approximately 3pm, with a break for lunch from 1pm to 2pm. You'll need to bring your own lunch but tea, coffee and biscuits will be available all day.

We usually meet on the third Saturday of the month but in March and July this changes to the fourth Saturday to accomodate other village events. CHECK THE CALENDAR BEFORE TRAVELLING!!!
