Sci-Tech Meeting on Monday 25th October changed

Our speaker is unable to be with us on Monday because of a bereavement in his family.  So at the last moment we have managed to get another speaker.
So at great expense we shall present Colin Macklin who will give us a talk on the fundamentals of Meteorology or how the weather works.
Ted Mustard's talk is postponed until later in the season. Date not fixed as yet.
See the web page HERE

SciTech Programme now on line

The programme for this season is now available HERE
You will notice that there are several gaps.  These will be filled as soon as we can get speakers to agree to come.
There are now four of us working on the programme.  They are Aslaug Abbott, Janet Pangelly and John Wheeler plus me Peter Read.  I am very grateful that they volunteered to assist me.

It has been written by a Devizes U3A member Alan Carter who kindly gave us a super talk about the Chemicals Around Us for the Sci-Tech Group.

Of particular interest is the page about the Castle that is sadly very private. But the whole of Devizes town is shaped by the castle as it was.
