COMMENTS
SPRING CONFERENCE MARCH 2006
TORRO members from far and wide gathered at Oxford Brookes University on Saturday 18th March 2006. A day packed with presentations from speakers with a variety of meteorological backgrounds and interests gave all who attended a thoroughly good day out. There is a thread relating to this meeting (and the photographs/videos of the outing to the pub afterwards!) in the forum.
THE TORRO AUTUMN CONFERENCE IS ON THE 14TH OCTOBER 2006
BIRMINGHAM TORNADO CONFERENCE - JULY 2006
This will be a Public accessed TORRO event to be held at Birmingham University, Edgbaston on Saturday 29th July 2006.
It will cover the Birmingham Tornado event that occurred on July 28th 2005 and there will also be mention of previous tornadic events that have occurred in the Birmingham area. There will be guest speakers from outside TORRO as well as presentations by TORRO members on the events of that day; from how severe storms form, to how we think tornadoes form, to forecasting the event and the investigation of the aftermath.
TORRO Members are encouraged to attend - put this date in your diaries and watch this space for more details!
