WHAT IS KNUTSFORD SciBAr???

Knutsford SciBAr consists of ordinary people who meet informally at a cafe/bar-over a beer or wine

in Knutsford at 6:30pm on the first monday in the month.

A leading scientist attends and talks for 30 minutes on his topic .

A discussion between attendees & the scientist then follows usually till around 8:00pm

The discussion then continues for days afterwards on line on the SciBAr discussion website http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kscibar

until the topic is exhausted and others take over

(The BA in SciBAr denotes the British Association for the Advancement of Science)

You don't have to join,

You don't have to know any science,

Just ring and then turn up with an enquiring mind .

You never know Something may strike you!
