The BCS Coventry Branch programme for 2026 – 2027: we are working on the axiom that Coventry Branch will persist into 2027 (before being absorbed into the West Midlands Regional Hub [or not]).
Ideally we hope to offer a mix of both face-to-face (in-person) meetings and webinars (as I’m a poor driver following my stroke last year(!!)). Physical meetings are normally hosted by Coventry University or Warwick University and often start at 7pm, but please check the event page to confirm the starting time and to get full details of the meeting. Where meetings are in-person, we also hope to offer an online presence, i.e. hybrid meetings. However, in practice, we’ve found its easier to offer meetings as webinars; we get a recording of them then, for those who cannot jump in on the night!
N.B. Those who used to attend meetings at University of Warwick, please note that the Car-Park nearest the WMG block (the “Arts Centre” car park) now requires payment on an app; or else in person in the Arts Centre – a bit of a walk…
