This is your reminder for the MARCH 'Skeptics in the Pub' meeting:

 DATE - Wednesday, March 14th  (NB: not Thursday!!)
 TIME  - 19:30
 PLACE- Upstairs in the Florence Nightingale pub
 199 Westminster Bridge Road,
 London, SE1,
 Junction with York Road, on the roundabout, near Waterloo station.

 Detailed directions and a map of how to get to the pub can be found at
 www.skeptic.org.uk/pub.

 This month's speaker is Dr Ron Roberts whose talk is entitled 'Science,
 Society and the Paranormal'. Ron is currently a lecturer at the
 Institute of Psychiatry and has previously done research work at Kings,
 UCL, Barts, Queen Mary College. He has authored over 40 scientific
 articles - chiefly in the areas of health, social inequality as well as
 a few on dreams. Ron has some forthcoming books, including one in June
 which is an edited collection with Arnold entitled 'Parapsychology: the
 Science of Unusual Experience'.  Ron advises he is not listed in Who's
 Who (in case you were planning a trip to the library just to check) but
 no doubt a stint in the spotlight at an SitP meeting could soon change
 that!

 A welcome is extended to anyone interested in, or skeptical about,  the
 paranormal, alternative medicine, psychic powers, pseudo-science,
 UFOs, alien abductions, creationism, Fortean phenomena, cult religions,
 water-divining, lost civilisations, etc.

 The interview will be followed by informal discussion in a relaxed and
 friendly pub atmosphere. Real ales and food available. Non-skeptics are
 welcome and you can turn up at any time during the night.

 Planned meeting dates to June are as follows (note April meeting
 is Wednesday rather than Thursday):

 18 Apr    Wed     Robert Newman - Bizarre and Amusing Paranormal Claims
 17 May   Thur      Prof David Marks -The Psychology of the Psychic
 21 Jun    Thur      tba
