New for January 2010 - Cafe Sci on Twitter - see twitter.com/oxcafesci

The dates: Usually on the second Tuesday of each month
Location: Blackwells Main Bookshop, Broad Street, Oxford.

It looks unlikely that the coffee shop will be open for the foreseeable future of the Cafe Sci, so we strongly encourage the audience to bring their own drinks if possible. We will continue to supply squash, water, nibbles, and a limited amount of 'emergency wine' but the wine does go fast, and so bringing your own wine or beer is a good plan. No corkage charged.

All welcome, no scientific background required. Visit the FAQ page for more information if you have never been to a Cafe event before.

Visiting the Cafe: It is held in Caffe Nero in the first-floor cafe of Blackwells Main Bookshop. We open the doors to the Cafe Scientifique at 6:30pm (possibly earlier in cold weather) and start the talk at 7pm. Audience members may bring their own coffee, tea, wine or beer, no corkage charged: bottle-opener and glasses provided. Two bottles of 'emergency wine' are on tap for those who don't bring their own, but when they have gone, that's it. Previously-ordered books may be paid for at the time via a member of the bookshop staff, but please do ask the customer services department to leave the books at the front desk on the ground floor, clearly labelled for you, otherwise they will be locked away by Customer Services.
