I know that  it is some time away (although scarily I've already seen a Christmas tree) but just a reminder that the Christmas Lecture is on 2017 December 9 and you need to book in advance even if you are a member. It's free to members if you book before November 20 and you can book online here. In the past this has been a very popular meeting and this year we are at King's College in the Strand courtesy of sponsorship from the IoP. There are two excellent main speakers and I will be doing the Sky Notes.
