FORTHCOMING LECTURES: 2008 - 2009:

(Please note that entrance to lectures is usually restricted to members of the hosting organisation.  Most are delighted to welcome visitors on payment of a nominal sum but please check with the person given as a contact beforehand.  Where the lecture is a public event and therefore open to everyone, please use the contact details provided or  follow the email link to enquire about venue, ticket prices, times etc.  Many of the public lectures do sell out very quickly - particularly where they are part of a Lecture Lunch programme, so please make your enquiry in good time to avoid any disappointment).
