Every Thursday afternoon, the Astrophysics Group meets in the Library for seminars.`

Speakers normally give presentations of up to an hour (including time for questions) and these begin at 2.30pm unless stated otherwise.
The seminar is preceded by lunch at a local pub and is followed by coffee and biscuits

Nick Seymour and Massimiliano de Pasquale are the seminar organisers.
