SouthPole-sium PRINCIPLES
• Informal, sociable, fun and serious only up to a point.
• Focus on the Antarctic i.e. not bi-polar.
• Focus on books, book collecting, book publishing, bookselling, book writing. Secondary foci: history, maps, art, photography, music, film, artifacts, medals.
• Non-focus: contemporary science (not that there's anything wrong with contemporary science).
• Short talks; no "read" talks.
• Affordable.
• No money is made and hopefully none lost.
• Everyone pays to come; no one gets paid to come.
