Pendulums

Last nights meeting was a change to the advertised programme as speaker Jim Wild was unable to attend, apparantly being up in the Arctic at the time.

Andrew Bate stood in at short notice to give a report on the Waverton Long Pendulum Experiment which he had been conducting at Waverton church making measurements of a 50 foot Foucault Pendulum he had hung there. This proved to be very intersting, and a good example of serious amateur science.
