Dear John,

Darren Hamley from Willetton Senior High School was recently awarded the Doug Clarke Medal for outstanding science teaching at high-school level by the Royal Society of Western Australia (WA's oldest multidisciplinary science society – founded in 1914 from precursor societies that date from 1897). Darren will be presenting the next RSWA talk on Monday 15th October. The details of the talk are given below. I would be grateful if you could advertise this talk among your members. Science teachers are very welcome to join and take part in activities of the RSWA.
