Science and Technology

Do you have an enquiring mind? Do you sometimes wonder how things work and why they work the way they do? Do you feel you ought to know something about topics such as emerging technologies, climate change, space exploration and a whole range of other scientific and engineering topics?

if the answer to any of the above questions is “Yes” then the Science and Technology Group could be just the one for you. Our talks are given by experts in their field but are never too highbrow. In addition to our talks, we try to arrange several trips a year to sites that are of scientific and engineering interest. As examples, our recent trips have included Tower Bridge and the Postal Museum. At Tower Bridge, we learned about the working of the bridge as well as its construction and history. The Postal Museum visit covered the history of the postal service from its very early days to the present and also included a trip on Mail Rail.

Our indoor meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of the month (except August) starting at 14:00 in Staines Methodist Church, Thames Street, Staines, TW18 4SD. There is a small annual membership fee of £2 plus a fee of £2 per meeting, the latter is to cover the cost of hall hire; the cost of visits varies depending on the venue.
