Pam Bradley, of Strathpeffer Community Centre, writes:

I am currently organising our 7th Science festival which will be held 16th April – 20th April next year.  We aim to have a few talks or activities in several Ross-shire venues during the week, culminating in a day long Science Fair in Strathpeffer Community Centre. These events always attract many people, of all ages and walks of life and are aimed at making science accessible, informative and fun.  They are non-profit making and are a great way for organisations to spread the word around about what they do.  I’ve enclosed a PDF of this year’s (2017) brochure and an information sheet to give you an idea of the activities we held.
