About 3 hours after I had read about this event my next door neighbour called at my front  door to tell me about it! He was quite surprised that I already had the details!
I asked him how he knew of it and apparently he works for UCL and they/he are helping out at the event.

He knows of my interest in radio thanks to the aerials in my garden!

As it is a daytime meeting I may decide to go, (even if just to see my neighbour) the only deterrent for me is if the weather was to become very cold and icy.

I'd love to attend but for several reasons, present health among them, I am unable to. I'm sure Jeffrey will tell us a little about it afterwards. There's scorn for Baird in some circles but in my opinion - for what that's worth - he deserves acclaim for his restless inventiveness. It may be that little he invented or developed is in use today (flying spot film scanning and colour disc based TV projectors notwithstanding) but he was the first in this country to demonstrate, albeit sometimes very crudely, TV , Colour TV and stereoscopic TV.
What a man. Enjoy the experience, gentlemen.

I've booked as well. A chap I know locally (ex Physics prof) is involved in organising it.
See all you good folk there. Sounds a bit like the Museum Bring & Buy Crew January outing!

Do you think they'd let us have a table?

I have now booked.
