We are a group dedicated to exploring topics in science and technology, open to anyone regardless of qualification. All that is needed is curiosity and a willingness to learn. Topics are suggested by group members and where possible guided reading is circulated prior to meetings. Each meeting is introduced by a group member followed by open discussion.

Meetings are held at 4pm on the third Wednesday of each month, with the venue circulated via WhatsApp before the meeting.
