Environment

Meetings are held fortnightly, throughout the period from October until July. The meetings comprise bi-fortnightly lectures given on chosen topics by individuals within the group, based upon their research and personal experience, followed by questions and discussion. These alternate with bi-fortnightly Update sessions which ask members of the group to submit short contributions for discussion on current items and topics identified from current journals and periodicals. Our tutors, usually from within the group, use Power Point projections and other media as appropriate for their presentations. We occasionally invite outside speakers from Charities, Voluntary Sector organisations, Local Authorities etc, usually in association with site visits. In the Summer we have a site visit to a place or event connected to an environmental theme.
