Online talks
We run a programme of online talks over Zoom at approximately monthly intervals, except over the summer. Talks are held on Zoom and you need to register in advance for each talk that you wish to attend. Unless stated otherwise, talks begin at 18:30 and last approximately an hour including time for questions at the end.
All talks are free to attend and are available to members and to non-members. You may pass on details of these talks to anyone and they can register using the links provided, or you can use the social media buttons on the registration pages in order to share the links to register. Although the talks are free, the ARA does incur substantial costs to run this programme, and we would welcome any donations. Please click on this link to see details of how to make a donation.
Note that although non-members may attend the talks live, recordings are only available to members: click on the Membership link at the left to see the benefits of membership, and then click the Subscribe link to download a membership application form.
Here are the talks which have taken place or which currently planned in 2023: further talks are added during the year; details are circulated to all members for whom we have an email address and to any non-members who have registered for one or more talks in the past. To register for a talk in advance, click on the date and follow the link to Zoom.
