After a busy week of events in the village, ending with the Carnival and Flower Show, the ladies of Wickhambrook W I were very happy to sit back and enjoy a talk called ‘Down with Drudgery’ at their July meeting. Trevor Anderson’s talk and slides illustrated how science in general, and chemistry in particular, have transformed our lives since the 1950s. He had some thought provoking ideas on how we will make plastic if/when oil runs out, and urged us to persuade our children and grandchildren to make science their career.

Future meetings

All meetings commence at 7.30pm There is always a very warm welcome for any ladies wishing to come and see what we are like with a view to joining us, feel free to come and visit.
