Event Listing
Skeptics in the Pub - Trystan Swale
Our very first speaker will be Trystan Swale on the 13th of April at TV21 in the Norther Quarter, Manchester who will be talking about Ghosts and the people who hunt them. This will be followed by the first ever live recording of the Righteous Indignation podcast!
--GHOSTS AND THE PEOPLE WHO HUNT THEM--
Who are the people that spend their weekends sat in haunted buildings hoping to capture evidence of an after life or a snapshot of a ghost? From academics to housewives, Trystan Swale blows the whistle on the profiles, methods, means, deception, poor research and bad science of the people who continue to shape popular culture and perception of ghosts.
Between 2004 and 2009 Trystan served with a range of paranormal investigation teams in the south of England, investigating a range of unusual phenomena from poltergeists to UFOs and winged humanoids. When not busy helping compile and present Righteous Indignation Podcast, he is a teacher by profession.
--RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION--
Righteous Indignation is the weekly UK based podcast that aims to critically exam ine extraordinary claims and the people who surround them. These include ideas related to conspiracy, the paranor mal, the occult and attempts to redefine the boundaries of science and current understanding. The show is presented by Hayley Stevens, Michael Marshall, Trystan Swale and Gavin Schofield, for more information visit http://www.ripodcast....
Ladies who do Skepticism
Skeptical Ladies.... we need YOU!
There are plenty of us who sign up to the Skeptical groups on Facebook, but comparatively so few who actually turn out to Skeptics in the Pub, and we'd like to change that.
Come along and get to know some of your female compatriots; find out what we do at SitP events, have a cup of coffee and piece of cake, and tell us who/what you'd like at future meets we have.
And at the risk of sounding even more sexist; for those traveling in from further afield- we've made it 3pm so you can have a mooch at the shops first if you fancy it :-)Men, sorry for the invites, but this is for the more elusive gender at GMSitP! However, there's plenty to do in Manchester, and we have more equal opportunities events coming up very soon! So do the women in your life a favour; be it wife/sister/mother/friend, pass on the invite.
Newbies and regulars equally welcome and encouraged to attend!
Any questions, please contact me- Janis Bennion
Manchester Skeptics in the Pub Social
If you're of a skeptical or scientific mindset and enjoy good company and good beers, come and join us for the third Manchester Skeptics in the Pub Social.
We'll be meeting in Sandbar, which is located very near to Oxford Road train station and only a 12-minute walk from Piccadilly. It's a brilliant bar with plenty of great beers at a reasonable price, and a 10% discount at the bar for SitP attendees.

It is also a good opportunity to offer any suggestions for speakers, or other Greater Manchester Skeptics ideas you may have.
We hope to see you there!

Skeptical Christmas Pub Crawl
After having a great deal of fun searching for venues with a few new members, we've decided to celebrate this Christmas skeptically with a pub crawl. We'll be meeting up in the Waldorf Hotel from 7PM till 8PM, then we'll set off to a few other pubs around Manchester.
There will be no speaker at this meeting, it's going to be a purely social affair. Ideally we'd like to have some interesting discussion over a few pints, but of course non drinkers are more than welcome!
If you're not liking the idea of a Pub Crawl, don't worry - this is a one off, and our regular meetings should be quite a bit more stationary. Needless to say, anyone who attends will have to be of drinking age.
