Dear Science-Lovers,
For obvious reasons, we have had to take the difficult decision to cancel this year's Biggar Science Festival. It's a great pity because we had some exciting events lined up, but hopefully we can postpone them for a year and make the post-lockdown festival in 2021 one to remember.
We are looking at alternative internet-based approaches and will keep you posted via email, Facebook and our website.
All suggestions and ideas welcome.
Stay safe everyone and remember, the solution to pollution is dilution (keep washing your hands)!
