Launceston Cafe Scientifique
 in Jerichos Brasserie in Launceston

Cafe Scientifique has been growing since 1998 and now has over forty cafes across the country. Jerichos of Launceston now fills the gap between Redruth and Exeter

This is the launch night of Cafe Scientifique Launceston and guests are invited to listen to a talk by Colin Webb, Emeritus Professor of Laser Physics, Emeritus Fellow of Jesus College, University of Oxford,  and Chairman Oxford Lasers Ltd. In January 2000 Colin was awarded an MBE for services to the UK Laser Industry so I guess Colin knows what he is talking about

The subject title of the talk is The Light Fantastic - lasers for science, industry and medicine.

It was 50 years ago in May the laser was first used with any success so it seems appropriate that the talk is an introduction to the history, properties and the use of lasers in manufacturing, measuring and medicine including treatment of cancer and sight problems.

If you have ever considered laser treatment for eyesight problems this could be a fantastic opportunity to get some answers to your questions.

The evening is designed to be an informal talk with discussion and  not a lecture. Which means all members of the public are invited to attend and feel free to ask questions and raise relative points of interest.

The evening starts at 7 pm and  there will be a break during the evening for coffee and cakes after which the discussion will begin.

The next Cafe Scientifique in September covers the topics of  Mathematics, Magic and the Electric  guitar which should interest some of the  many talented musicians in the Launceston and surrounding areas

An evening of poetry and prose at Liberty House in Launceston
An entertaining night out in Launceston

An entertaining night out in Launceston on Thursday 22nd July.

If you would like a cheap night out and have a good laugh this could be the perfect chance to indulge in some funny stories, uplifting tales or just some cracking jokes. Everyone is invited to share something, be it poetry, a favourite passage from a book or perhaps to tell an inspirational tale. Do you want to spread a message? This is a perfect opportunity for you.

If you would like to take part, simply turn up and take a turn at the mike. Have a think about something you would like to say and have a go. Recite it, read it or just make it up as you go

Coffee, tea, soft drinks and a choice of Mels delicious home made sweet and sticky cakes will be available from behind the bar. You are invited to bring your own alcohol if you wish.

Jerichos is found in Liberty House which is the old Liberal Club of Launceston. It is between the Job Centre and the Bell Inn in Northgate Street. Opposite the Central Methodist Chapel.
