At the moment the meetings are usually centred round videos of general scientific interest. Over the past two years or so we have looked at films on Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Medicine and Physics and also biographies about people considered as Great Scientists e.g. Newton, Einstein and Darwin. These are usually followed by a general discussion during the refreshment break.

We meet on the first Tuesday of the month 2 pm to 4 pm at Burnley Central Library.

Next Meeting – Tuesday 3rd December Burnley library 2.00 pm.
Great Scientists (continued)  (i) Charles Darwin (Part 2) and (ii) Michael Faraday.  Contact Brian Pomfret.
