AGM and Christmas Meeting
AGM and Christmas Meeting
The BSHM's annual Christmas meeting will take place online this year, following successful online meetings in the past two years. The keynote speaker will be Kim Plofker (Union College, Schenectady)
The AGM will be held during the lunch break in the meeting.
The zoom links for the meeting will be sent to registered participants on 30 November.
To replace the in person get together and opportunity to socialise that we have all enjoyed at past Christmas Meetings, we are planning an in person 'Summer Jamboree' in June/July 2023.
