====== Evening Talks ======

Each winter a series of talks is run. Previous to 2020/21 these have been held in the Briefing Room, or occasionally the Club Room for a particularly popular talk. However in 2020/21 we are holding them via [[https://zoom.us/|Zoom]].

The files are a mix of PDF and PowerPoint presentations. If you don't have PowerPoint, [[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/view-a-presentation-without-powerpoint-2f1077ab-9a4e-41ba-9f75-d55bd9b231a6|this link]] might help you to view the presentations. [[https://www.openoffice.org/|Open Office]] and [[https://www.libreoffice.org/|Libre Office]] are alternatives.
