Our first speaker of 2015 is Dr. Robert Fear who is Head of Space Environment Physics Group in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Southampton University.

He will be talking about Space Weather which has become an important subject because of its effects on the many satellites now orbiting the earth.

His research concentrates on the magnetosphere, ionosphere and the aurora at the poles.

Venue
The Regency Suite is above the Conservative Club in Shanklin in Palmerston Road just off the High Street.

The nearest car parks are in Landguard Road and Orchardleigh Road, both only two or three minutes walk to the Conservative Club. Parking is free after 6pm.

As we have to pay a rent for the facilities, we have to ask for a donation of at least £3 on the door to make sure we cover all our expenses. i.e. the rent, cost of speakers' travel expenses and a meal, plus overnight accommodation if needed.
