Agenda
7:00 pm ... Guest Presentation: Greg Keogh will present in person
Topic: SPACE IS BIG (from the smallest to the largest things in the Universe)
Greg Keogh is a software developer in real life, but he has many nerdy hobbies that include astronomy, computing, music, movies, science fiction and the history of mathematics. In this presentation titled Space is Big he takes us on a tour from the smallest things in the universe progressively out to the size to the universe itself. You will learn why you can't photograph atoms, why Pluto was demoted from being a planet and how long it would take to fly to the nearest star. If you've ever suspected that your life is insignificant and meaningless, then this presentation will confirm you were right. Since this is a PC User Group meeting, the subject of computing is sprinkled through the presentation.
Then...
We are going to have an extended interval with drinks and nibbles and an opportunity to have a bit of a chat and generally socialise. We will provide light nibbles, tea, coffee and soft drinks. Feel free to BYO beer or vino.
And then ...
-
Club activities update with Mic Adams.
-
And we will hear from iHelp with Harry Lewis.
- To wind up we'll have as long as you like to chat over Zoom. Please feel free to hang around; the socialising is good medicine in these stressful times.
and last but not least ...
The restaurant has been arranged for WAFFLE, a relaxed social get together at nearby Fong's Chinese restaurant. Details and maps will be available on the night.

Regards,
David Stonier-Gibson
