2020 events were postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic but we are happy to give information of a programme of online talks for the first half of 2021. Each of these, including questions, will last for about one hour. If you want to take part please let us have your email address; full information will then be sent to you on the information you will need to access our talks via Zoom.
