Science & Technology – A New Year
A very lucid description of the inner workings of Global Positioning Systems by Damian Campbell in January got the Science & Technology group off to a great start for 2017.
To follow that – a difficult task – are these taking us up to July:
| * February 2nd – ‘The Early History of Photography’ by Gareth Evans who was an employee of Kodak. | |
| * March 3rd – visit the ‘Energy from Waste’ plant at Greatmoor (10k from Waddesdon) – Please note that there will be a certain amount of stair climbing and we are required to be kitted in their safety equipment. | |

| * July 6th – a talk on ‘The Four Minute Warning’. |
If you are interested in any of the trips or learning more about the S&T meetings please contact John Beer by e-Mail (science@wtu3a.org.uk) or at a U3A meeting.
