Our meetings usually consist of a talk by a group member or guest speaker, followed by questions and discussion. Occasionally we make visits to places of scientific or technological interest. Last year we covered a wide range of topics including: the tides around Arnside; sight problems and vision aids; audio technology; lighthouse design.
Possible topics for next year includes: Nobel Prize scientists and facial recognition.
