Science, Nature and Technology
Leader: Richard Abramson
We plan to cover a miscellany of science and technology topics, dependent on the knowledge and interest of available speakers. Ideas for related activities — trips out, guest talks, etc., will also be explored.
No prior knowledge of science is required.
Meetings and outings will be arranged as opportunities arise, and due notice will be sent to all members of the group. Suggestions for speakers or outings may be sent to the group leader via groupsorg@hgsu3a.uk .
