Topics we'll be discussing:

• Arthurian Legends
• Meeting: September. 8 at 4 p.m.

King Arthur has risen again and again in our collective imagination, along with his retinue of knights, Guinevere, the Round Table, Camelot, and of course Excalibur. But where do these stories come from, and is there any truth to them?

• Future Technology
• Meeting: October 13 at 4 p.m.

Technology is incredible advanced, and we're making strides that can push things even farther. In just the field of transportation we are seeing safer cars and fully electric cars. There are even plans for self-driving cars and even self-driving Ubers. What will technology be like in 30 years? 60? What about 100 years from now?

• Holy Grail Legends
• Meeting: November 10 at 4 p.m.

Legends about the Holy Grail are often connected to the British legends of King Arthur, since he never actually found the grail we're going to gibr him pass and talk about other legends surrounding this ultimate treasure. We’re going to explore the stories of Perceval and Galahad, two different versions of the Grail legend this month.

• Time Travel
• Meeting: December 8 at 4 p.m.

Time travel is a staple of science fiction stories, but is it actually possible? It turns out nature does allow a way of bending time, an exciting possibility suggested by Albert Einstein when he discovered special relativity over one hundred years ago.
