Corrections

 

Hi all,

Sorry - 1 error and 1 omission in my last email.

1. Geology programme: Somehow in copying & pasting I managed to lose the date of the first transmission of the programme, which will be on Tuesday 20 November, at 21.00 on BBC2.

2. The IAA lecture by Kevin Berwick in Belfast should of course have been Wednesday 28 NOVEMBER, not October.

Clear skies,

Terry Moseley
