Note: The organisers request that those wishing to attend register for the series at the above web address. They wish to present the series as a course and feel that keeping as much of the audience as possible for all five lectures will add to the coherence and success of the series. They advise that they expect there will be some room for those who turn up for the first lecture on 2 May without having registered in advance, but they cannot guarantee this.
Lecture each Wednesday in May at 6.30pm
