Rebooting for 2021

Thu, 21 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Welcome to our new members and the regulars!

I’ve booked out OC218 (Ogden East Conference Room) for Thursdays at 1300 for the hour. We’ll have our first meeting next Thursday, 28 Oct.

OC218 has a capacity of 44 people, so everyone will be able to attend in person if they wish to. For those wishing to join virtually, I’ll set up an Owl and you can connect through the Zoom room circulated through the mailing list.

In our first meeting we can all introduce ourselves and discuss how we’d like to proceed with the club and the content of following sessions.

This is a lunchtime club, so please do take food if you want to!

Note that there’s no expectation of ability or prior knowledge, so everyone please feel very welcome to come along.

Not that further enticement is required, but tea and coffee will be provided!

Inviting all of Physics to Computing Club

Mon, 18 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Historically, the IPPP has held a weekly lunchtime Computing Club. This year we’d like to invite everyone in Physics who’s interested to join. All career levels are welcome.

We usually run informal seminar style sessions with some open sessions for people to crowd-source solutions to their coding problems. You can see some examples of previous meeting topics at

We also run longer projects for fun when there’s interest.

To join the mailing list, please send a message to majordomo@durham.ac.uk with the following text in the message body: subscribe ph-complunchclub You then have to follow the authorisation instructions which will be emailed back to you. Ensure all emails you send have a plain text body; authorisation will not work with HTML emails.

If everyone who wants to join fills in their general availability (ignore the specific dates and treat as weekly availability) on this poll https://doodle.com/poll/g4rnn55dgxtrt6nd?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link I’ll pick the best time for everyone and book an appropriately sized room for us. I’ll be in touch with you all via the ph-complunchclub mailing list once that’s sorted.

Looking forward to our first meeting!
