[rosy (OP)]

For anyone who's going to be within striking distance of Ipswich (Suffolk, UK... sorry, not any of the other available Ipswichs) next weekend, there's going to be a hands-on science event at Claydon High School on Sunday (5th December), with a planetarium, make-and-do, CHaOS, and more.
 
More details, including a map and information about the talks that will be happening is here.

One of the talks will be Dave (daveshorts) microwaving things that shouldn't be microwaved and generally doing fun stuff with electricity..
