* * Original post updated to share to 2016 Festival details * *


After such great feedback from the readers of this forum, I?m pleased to share details of this year?s Imperial Festival - a free weekend event that is perfect for families.


Make a date with discovery and enjoy the livelier side of science at the 2016 Imperial Festival on 7/8 May, bringing you ground-breaking research, music and art, talks, dance and workshops.


If you've ever wondered if you can outsmart a robot, what your pee says about you, or whether music makes you healthy, then we have the festival for you.


This free weekend of hands-on, inspiring science is open to all. So whether you're a regular or first-time visitor to the College, join us to celebrate the fifth Imperial Festival.


* Saturday 7 May 12.00-18.00

* Sunday 8 May 12.00-17.00


Imperial?s South Kensington Campus on Exhibition Road (nearest tubes are South Kensington or Gloucester Road)


You can explore the programme online at http://www.imperial.ac.uk/festival, but highlights include:

* Take part in over 40 hands-on research?s demonstrations in our Research Zone, including opportunities to explore astrophysics through food, find out what your pee says about your lifestyle, make art with fat, and play noughts and crosses with lasers

* Explore a unique horseless carriage exhibition, with cars from the turn of the 20th Century being displayed alongside new research into the future of mobility within our brand new Transport Zone

* Meet the next generation of robots that could revolutionise our daily lives and explore how research into the inner workings of our brain could produce true artifical intelligence

* Listen to an inspiring talks programme on everything from predicting the future through science fiction, the health of the Chinese economy, and the geology behind Italy?s dramatic scenery

* Have a tipple at our pop-up pub, the Haemo Globe Inn

* Make jelly worms and DNA bracelets with your young budding scientists in the Explore Zone

* Propose ideas for Paralympic sports of the future with students from the Department of Bioengineering

* Journey into the tiny world of bacteria and the organisms that share our homes and bodies, before learning all about the threat of antimicrobial resistance in our Superbug Zone

* Get away from the crowds with our tours programme featuring opportunities to relax under a sky full of stars in our pop-up planetarium, and become fully immersed in new research within our 313 degree, 64 screen Data Observatory

* Enjoy food and drink from the London Farmer?s Market

Just a reminder - Imperial Festival is this weekend! The weather is going to be gorgeous and there's lots to do outside - plus the London Farmers' Market for yummy food. I've just watched some of the veteran cars arrive for the "horseless carriage" exhibition in the Festival transport zone, and they are fabulous!


Hope to see some of you there - I'll be in the info tent all weekend so if you have questions, come find me!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
