The attendance at the first Science cafe was promising. I looked forwards to it growing and thriving - particularly as a number of the people who attended...

I understand your frustration. I have attended 2 of the sessions and will probably come to the next one. I did not however get details of the last meeting....
Dear Ron, We didn't get any email about the last meeting, no notice of speaker or date, so far we have attended two out of the three meetings we were informed...
Ron, there must be plenty of people in Weston or nearby who could speak instead of bringing people from Bristol. Best Wishes, Heather Morrisey ... Please...
Hi Ron, Sorry to hear of the low turn out last month, I was unfortunately asked to go away on business at the last minute. I do hope we can keep going a bit...
Thanks for the few "don't give up!" messages... I'm not sure if one of them was intended as ironic or not: "Don't be pessimistic, or you'll lose your...

Dea r Ron, Don't forget to send a reminder for the next science cafe meeting with date and topic of the evening. and I shall circulate to some friends. ...
But, ever the optimist (!) I've decided NOT to pull the plug and walk away, but to try instead to re-arrange the ideas to see if Weston can come up with an...
Hi Ron, I think that's a good idea - you don't need a large audience or high-profile speaker for a successful event. At the Pierian Centre we get around 15 and...

I chose the header in response to Mike pointing out that many of my recent posts have reflected the dpressing lack of support we've been getting; he suggests...
I spoke to Jeremy Taylor, and discussed Monday's meeting.The topic of "how big is the audience likely to be?" came up. I had to admit that I didn't know - but...
Sounds like a good idea, so do I take it we don't turn up on Monday until further notice? Best Wishes, Heather ... Please look at my website, just click on...
Ron Sorry to hear it was not successful, maybe the population of Weston is not large enough to find the number of people interested in the subject. Key is the...
May I wish a Happy New Year to all Weston-super-Mare Science Cafe members. I very much enjoyed our meetings last year and I know this year will see us go from...
Mike's absolutely correct about Monday's meeting. No speaker... we just need to gather and decide "where we're going to go from here". I was surprised to be...

No speaker on Monday? So why don't each of us come prepared with something to chat about? It doesn't have to be a prepared lecture, just a brief description of...

Fair enough, Ron. Guess I had a different interpretation of 'support'. But even so, there are a dozen or so cafes that run in small towns without universities....
Dear Ron, Mike et al, Didn't you know that Weston College does degree courses? And has a flourishing Science Dept. Best Wishes, Heather ... Please look at my...
Today's meeting drew a fair level of attendance considering the icy conditions. We can add to that the three apologies for absence, proving that we have a good...
But I just spotted a real bargain. EBuyer bought up (as bankrupt stock) slightly over 100 Elonex 32" flatscreen TV's, which they're selling-on at £229...
