When? Meeting date will be the 2nd Monday in the month

Where? Meeting on Zoom except for external visits

We continue to use zoom for our meetings at the moment and have enjoyed some very interesting talks, both by members and one of our favourite speakers, John Cosier. He has given us 'The Particle Zoo', 'The Life Cycle of Stars' and 2 talks on Chernobyl. He makes the subjects come to life, his talks are fascinating and informative.

We also enjoyed a guided tour of the Science area at Wisley gardens, a guided tour of East Grinstead Museum and a Summer Social in Kay's garden.

Future Plans - All meetings will be by zoom unless stated otherwise.
