Film: The People's Emergency Briefing

Image
About the Film This 50-minute film combines authoritative scientific content from an event held at Westminster last November - The National Emergency Briefing. Along with the scientific facts it also features reactions from members of the public and some familiar famous faces . It  delivers the frank facts about the threats, but also the enormous benefits if our Government takes responsibility and leads genuine emergency action. It's all of our 'jobs' to tell our Government that we want this emergency action! Come and see the film 🙂 Our wee tour kicks off on the 10th September in Crawford Village Hall, with screenings the week after in Wanlockhed and Biggar. For the full list of dates, times, venues and how to book the free tickets please see pink flyer below and check out the promo trailer. All aboard or all at sea - what will we all choose to be?

Science Café: Keeping old homes warm - imaging leaking heat and pumping it back October 15th, doors 19:15, prompt start 19:30. This Science Café double-bill brings together two aspects achieving home energy efficiency. Ian Poole, a thermal imaging volunteer with Biggar Area Climate Care, first explains the science behind measuring temperatures and inferring heat flows with an infrared camera, and highlight some of the pitfalls in interpreting these images to identify home heat loss. Chris Carus of LOCO follows up explaining how do heat pumps work in old buildings, separating myth from science. Come along to hear a clear explanation grounded in both the physics of heat transfer and practical experience of dealing with hundreds of older Scottish homes Free, with tea/coffee on us!
