Ian Bradley – retirement do

Ian Bradley is retiring at the end of March. To wish him well for the future we’ll be having drinks and nibbles in the Physics Atrium on Friday 24th March at 4 pm.

Ian will also go to the White Cross from 6pm for a few hours and would be pleased to see colleagues there if they can make it.
