INTRODUCTION
The Science group meets on average about once a month. One of its aims is to explore topics of current scientific interest through a combination of visits to places of scientific interest, home-based meetings, practical investigations and attending talks and lectures.
ACHIEVEMENTS TO DATE
We have visited the MAD(Mechanical Art and Design) Museum at Stratford –upon-Avon, the Lapworth Geological Museum at the University of Birmingham and the National Brewery Centre at Burton-upon-Trent.
The home-based meetings are hosted and led by different group members and have explored contemporary topics such as Climate Change, Environmental Pollution, Diet and the Hadron Collider.
On a practical note we have established a test for the useful efficiency rating of domestic vacuum cleaners
