Science Group
We meet on the 3rd Friday of each month from 10am to 11.50am in the Portland Room (main hall) at the John Godber Centre.
Group Leader David Rose
Treasurer Sue Tedstone
Refreshments Christine Berrill
Our members come from a range of backgrounds and no previous science/technology experience or qualifications are required. All are welcome.
We usually take a tea break about 10.55am to 11.10am
A wide spectrum of scientific topics and themes are covered, many of which are prompted by suggestions from members.
As well as revisiting topics that people will have experienced at school or later in life we also aim to keep abreast of recent subjects of contemporary interest.
We have the occasional guest presenter from outside the group but most sessions have contributions from volunteers within the membership.
There is usually one outside visit to a place of scientific or technological interest each year.
