Safety Handbook

It’s time to read the latest iteration of the Departmental handbook and confirm you understand it. It’s available on the Departmental web site under “about us”, “information”, then either “staff” or PG student” as appropriate and you’ll find the handbook under safety or essential documents.
It’s an informative (dare I say riveting) read and will only take 20 mines or so with a warming beverage & biscuit.
Please let me know of any factual errors, spelling mistakes or typos.

Christmas Lunch

The Physics Christmas lunch will take place at 1300 hrs on Friday 20th December at Greaves Park, Lancaster. To secure your place please pay me £20 (for two courses) or £22 (for three courses). I will be taking bookings from next Monday 4th November, if you could have the correct money it would be appreciated.

I’ll take your menu choices once you have paid, (please see the attached menu). Please note that the venue has given me a deadline for a pre-order and you will need to book your place by COP Wednesday 27th November.

As usual we will have drinks and mince pies in the Physics Atrium before the lunch, at 1100.
