WHAT IS LIVERPOOL ART FAIR?

Liverpool Art Fair is a large scale, annual art exhibition, selling affordable paintings, prints and sculptures by artists from across the region. All artwork is under £2000 and we have a large section under £200 with limited edition prints starting at just £25, so there really is something for all budgets. We believe everyone should be able to take their own piece of the Liverpool art world home with them! After a COVID enforced break, we are back for 2023 at the iconic
Royal Liver Building on Liverpool’s Pier Head…

 Free event, booking at desk  required Tuesdays with Maureen or Jan

 Meet at venue 12 noon,  example  below by

There were only 7 walkers for Thursdays ramble around the Crook o’ Lune led by Ann & Peter. The weather was perfect for walking with stunning views as far as the Ingleborough Fells. It started with a nice gentle climb to Far Highfield farm and then down to the river Lune via Aughton (no we were not that lost!). Leaving the village, we headed down to the river but not before hacking our way through a 20yd stretch of overgrown path full of nettles – well, four of us did. Continue reading →

Hamilton

Last chance for Hamilton tickets on Saturday 9th December at 2.30 pm. Cost £92.50.

There will be no transport organised as it will be much more costly than the train.

It’s a sell-out production in Manchester, so we need to confirm our numbers and let the theatre know. Therefore, if you want tickets we currently have about 6 unallocated tickets. Let us know and pay your cheque by next Tuesday at the Theatre Desk.

Further to the presentation on AI, given last week, we decided to try out the ChatGPT system with some searching questions. Sandy kindly gave me 7 sample queries and the results for the first one are here.

What were the most significant scientific discoveries made in the 20th century ?

The 20th century witnessed numerous groundbreaking scientific discoveries across various fields. Here are some of the most significant ones:

  1. Theory of Relativity: Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, published in 1905
  2. Quantum Mechanics: early 20th century, Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr
  3. DNA Structure and Genetics: In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick
  4. Antibiotics: The discovery and development of antibiotics in the early 20th century,
  5. Theory of Plate Tectonics:
  6. Big Bang Theory:
  7. Space Exploration:
  8. Genetic Code and Human Genome:
  9. Nuclear Energy and Particle Physics:
  10. Computing and Information Technology:

This is just an extract from the resulting query which gave 1000 words in great detail within seconds. Thanks to Sandy for the interest and input.
