IMPORTANT MESSAGE :
The speaker for next week has cancelled due to Covid19 concerns. I was
intending to go to
https://www.sotsef.co.uk/
tomorrow to grab speakers , perhaps a short-notice speaker for next
week, but that is cancelled.
And as the other local scicaf
http://www.wincafesci.org.uk/
has also cancelled, I'll assume the concensus opinion is
audiences/attendees for such events will not be taking avoidable risks
in attending .
For some unpredictable amount of time, but at least March and April
2020 the projected peak of the UK part of the pandemic , the Soton
sci cafs are cancelled .
