Wednesday 22^nd February

What’s the Point of a Trig?

Dave P

Most of us have slogged up hills to pose for photos next to the ubiquitous concrete obelisks, but how much do you know about trig points? Who designed them? When were they built? What were they used for? How many are there?

Join us on Zoom for a little bit of history, geography, astronomy, and trigonometry, as well as pictures of us standing on spectacular mountain tops around the country.

Note: Unless otherwise stated, Wednesday events start at 8.30pm on Zoom. Please get in touch for joining instructions.
