Most meetings take the form of general interest talks covering all aspects of science and technology. Some of the members are retired scientists of various sorts, we take special care to recognise the non-specialist members so that everybody gets something out of the talks.
As well as in-house speakers, the group also visits places of industrial, scientific and environmental interest and museums.
