The Science & Technology Group
Organising committee: Tanya Dempster, Paul McKay, Bill Devitt, Kurt and Lynda Kovach - science@ashbyu3a.co.uk -
This group is for both people who have a general interest in science as well as those whose careers have been in this area. We meet monthly with talks given mainly by members on a mixture of science/ engineering topics, some science news, information about famous scientists, good YouTube ideas and even the occasional practical activity.
We normally meet in the main hall at Packington Village Hall, High Street, Packington LE65 1WJ on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 2pm.
Parking is limited, so please try to car-share if possible.

| Tue 10th Dec | 2:00 pm | Packington Village Hall. | A talk on 'Clangers on the Railways' by Bill Devitt | This talk draws on his long association with the rail industry. He may even include some with a Christmas theme. Bill is one of our Group Leaders who normally greets you at the entrance to check you in and collects your entrance fee. We will then have an opportunity to socialise over a quiz and enjoy some festive nibbles and drinks. |
Tuesday 8th October.
The October meeting had to be cancelled due to members of the organising group either having covid or being on holiday. The speaker for this meeting, Catrin Rutland, has now been booked for the February 2025 meeting.
We expect the November meeting to go ahead as planned on the 12th. Joe Davis will tell of ‘The Discovery of the Rutland Water Sea Dragon'
The organising group are planning events for the 2025 programme. If anyone in the group would like to hear a particular talk, have a discussion or wants to visit a site of scientific or technological importance, please contact Tanya, Lynda, Kurt, Bill or Paul by email on: science@ashbyu3a.co.uk.
We welcome new ideas and contributions from our members.
