This Group is for those who wish to increase their awareness and knowledge across a wide spectrum of scientific and technological subjects some of which affect our daily lives.
Now in the third year and with an excellent record of talks, some of which are illustrated, given by members or visiting speakers, together with a healthy attendance record the Group is now really up and running.
Subject topics often encompassing the historical, current and future criteria aspects of the given subject have included: water, gas and electricity supplies, drug development and approval process, climate change, food additives, hospital infection and control, and history of glass making, just to name a few. Following each talk there is time for questions and discussion.
In addition, guided visits have included: The Museum of Science and Industry, a virtual image design consultancy service, the Anderton Boat Lift, Avro Heritage Centre at Woodford and the Anson Engine Museum at Poynton. Other field visits to follow.
Group activity reports are published in the quarterly issues of the CHU3A Newsletter.
Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the months October to December and February to April at 2.00 p.m. in the Heald Green Village Hall.
A charge of £1 is made to cover room hire, refreshments etc.
