Folks - a request from Discover Science and Engineering - if you could log your events here:

www.scienceweek.ie/event.asp

that would be really helpful.
Cheers

Don't forget, Club Secretaries etc., to add your event to the IFAS Calendar (see link on the menu at left). It would be great to build this up so that visually it looks like (and backs up) what all the clubs are doing around the country AND the vast amount of venues and topics taking part.

If anyone needs help on how to use the Calendar, let me know. The only real issue might be that your venue is not added which will have to be done by one of the Super Admins (Darragh or myself).

Already there has been a very good response from IFAS member clubs and their speakers togive talks outside the norm to various venues around the country. Remember, keep www.scienceweek.ie up to date and also check there for the latest event+venue information for your area.

Clear Skies,

Seanie.
