Wednesday, 5th June 2013 – Phillip Pendred had a science career, specialising in haematology and blood transfusion, but has a wide range of other interests, including potholing, abseiling, cycling and dinghy sailing. Having spent 15 years in France following his retirement, he returned to the UK and is now a violinist in the Southport Orchestra!
However, it is his interest in Astronomy that brings him here to talk to us about comets. Appropriately, in 2013, it is predicted that a couple of bright comets will appear in our night skies, so come and learn all about comets with Phillip’s talk on 5th June. You might even learn how you can become a comet discoverer at home – without even moving from your armchair!
