Event Listing
March Social
Our social this month is on the 24th, so for a bit of a change we thought we'd go to the same pub as we did the month before.
What's Wrong With Hypnosis?
No person investigating hypnosis now seriously doubts that it is ‘a genuine phenomenon’. Yet there remains something seriously wrong with hypnosis, something that people in the field have always been very reluctant to confront. What the problem is will be revealed and discussed in this talk.
February Social
Our next social is in the Vault at the Crown and Kettle on Thursday 25th.
The Science Of Magic
Robert Teszka is a science promoter and member of the Magic Circle. He talks about how our minds deceive us and magician's tricks can help us understand.
January Social
Like most years, 2016 is made of months, and so our traditional monthly socials will continue. January's will be in the Snug at the Lass O'Gowrie.
Festive Social
It's a week early and the wrong side of the Irwell but what the heck — it's Winterval!
You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry…
Have you been naughty or nice? In Alpine Countries, the reinvigoration of the traditional Krampus myth has led to festivals and processions - Krampuslauf - in his honour. We'll find out where Krampus comes from, who his cousins are, and what the real meaning of Christmas is. Plus a Krampus quiz - will you win sweets or coal?
November 2015 Social
This month, our social will also be a charity book sale, in case you own too few or too many books, and an AGM, in case you would like to take over the Society and turn it into a raw-foodist discussion group.
Strictly Die Laughing
What does a skeptic do when thinking about a funeral?
The Future Of Food
We are presenting a discussion at the Manchester Science Festival.
