Britain's What's On Event Guide
Sheffield Skeptics in the Pub
Sheffield Skeptics in the Pub was founded in December 2009 and is a good way for people from all walks of life to hear from experts and discuss with them important issues that affect us all, while enjoying their favourite beverage. Meetings are held every third Monday of the month at Farm Road Sports & Social Club, Farm Road, Sheffield S2 2TP from 7.30 pm. There is no need to book and no entrance fee, but a voluntary donation of £3 is welcome to cover speaker's expenses and room hire. Parking is free.
Our July 2024 event is a presentation by Claire Burn and is titled ‘Pond dipping: Insights beneath the surface’. Whether it's in your garden or in a nearby park, ponds are a familiar feature across the UK. In fact, there are thought to be around 500,000 of them (according to the Wildlife Trusts)! Pond dipping is a fantastic way for families to start exploring the natural world around them and it can reveal a lot about water quality. This will be a lively talk, with demonstrations and participation encouraged (although completely optional).
Claire completed a Master's degree in User Experience Design in 2023, choosing to design an app for her dissertation project that was inspired by her experiences of supporting family pond dipping activities with the RSPB years ago.
