Open events in the Institute and elsewhere

• IMPORTANT - the notices posted here are copied from paper notices put on my desk some weeks in advance (often months!). Sometimes I don't receive notices of changes/cancellations, so please check with the host institution before attending the seminar.
• Please email details of new events or corrections to Al Downie as far in advance as possible
