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 Zoom.
The files are a mix of PDF and PowerPoint presentations. If you don't have PowerPoint, this link might help you to view the presentations. Open Office and Libre Office are alternatives.
