Science & Technology Anthropology NB. The group is full at the moment and we are not taking any more names for the waiting list. What we do Anthropology is the study of mankind. We explore aspects of mankind from both a biological and cultural viewpoint using visual presentations, talks and discussion. We look at how evolutionary processes have led to mankind as we know it today. No prior knowledge is necessary - just curiosity. The cost per meeting is £4 which includes refreshments.

Did you dislike Maths at school? Did Maths lessons make you feel anxious?
This course is a continuation of the ten ‘Maths for the Terrified’ sessions which started in February 2024.
You will require some previous knowledge of Number and Algebra.
Real life applications will be included in most of the areas covered.
What we do:
This list is not exclusive and will evolve as we make more progress:
- Review Part 1of ‘Maths for the not so Terrified’.
- Continue to develop competence and confidence in algebra.
- Work with equations, formulae and identities.
- Explore shape and space in everyday life (Geometry).
- Investigate angles and shapes.
- Discover Pythagoras’ Theorem.
- Apply trigonometry to right-angled triangles.
- To infinity and beyond.............................
Equipment needed:
A ruler, pencil, scientific calculator, protractor and a pair of scissors (to cut paper).
Progress in Maths mostly relies upon prior knowledge and skills, so regular attendance is recommended. The fee for this group will therefore be a single payment for the five sessions of £10.
I will be starting this terms course on Friday 17th October 2025.
