For the staff and students at both Northumbria and Newcastle Universities: There will be no meetings until the beginning of the summer term. I will update this site with dates and venues in due course. You are welcome to join us at Amida Sanctuary on Tuesday evening (see above).
Apologies for this, but I have been struck down by a very unpleasant virus so will neither be well enough to attend meetings, nor do I wish to pass the virus on. I will post an update at the end of the week as to future meetings - Sujatin
