London Talks Programme

This programme is organised by our sub-committee of the Council. The Council is keen to receive ideas and details of proposed speakers for the talks in London (or the regions). Presentations are generally of 45 minutes to 1 hour's duration with time for questions afterwards. It is traditional (but not obligatory) for those presenting papers to provide the Society with a written paper which is then provided to all members of the Society. If you would like more information about the London programme or have ideas for papers or presentations, contact one of the following:
