Kew have published their Monday evening lecture list (I have been haunting their
website!) and here it is - I highly recommend going along if you get the chance;
it's a really nice atmosphere, extremely good value (£2), with occasional bonus
short talks from members of the public at the beginning.
All start at 6.30pm at the Jodrell Lecture Theatre.
