Inverness & Black Isle

Current Affairs (Black Isle 2)

The group meets approximately every three weeks in member’s homes. We are limited to a membership of 12 by the size of our sitting rooms and to allow all members to contribute during the meeting. The host chairs the meeting with each member contributing a topic for discussion.

Discussions ranged over political and social issues and examples of last year’s topics included:-

• Is making maths compulsory until 18 a good idea?
• What are our responsibilities beyond our shores?
• What do you expect/hope to see in the budget this week and as part of that how should child care be provided/funded?
• Given recent events and possible revelations is support for the SNP in irreversible decline?
• Have we got more to fear than to gain from artificial intelligence?
• Student fees, should they be means tested?
• What single object could you not do without to manage and live your life?
• Is there any chance of environmental balance through democracy?

Our meeting nearest Christmas normally happens over a meal in a local restaurant.
