Now that we are starting to get that summer feeling, what better way to get in the groove than with some laid-back jazz in the Village Hall. A great way to raise some funds for the hall.
Saturday 31st May at 8 pm BYOB and snacks
Tickets from Laura Edmonds, or via the contact form below or from the Lanterne Rouge
We have a special PUBlic Philosophy event scheduled for Thursday 8 May, 8-10pm at the Garvald Inn.
Inbal Arnon (Professor of Psychology from Hebrew University) and Simon Kirby (Professor of Linguistics and English Language from the University of Edinburgh) will lead a discussion about the similarities between whale language and human languages. You have probably heard about their work in the news recently; the published research is here.
All welcome as always!
UPDATE: please bring some snacks / nibbles / light bites on Friday night as well as your preferred drink. This is instead of a meal-based event which we usually have. This keeps things simple and takes the pressure off planning a little!
See you there!
Just a wee reminder of what to bring along:
See you there!
