A members discussion evening. Two topics:

  1. Hinkley Point - Is it a viable solution for base load electricity?

  2. Human evolution - New evidence on a theory of human origin that suggested that our ancestors began their existence alongside water.

These were two programmes given by David Attenborough on Radio 4 last week in the morning.

If you were unable to hear them they are now on the BBC website under the title 'The Waterside Ape'. Worth listening to.

Hope you can come along and make it a stimulating evening. (Hopefully a donation of £1 towards room hire will be sufficient instead of the usual £3).


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.
