Upcoming tribute to the late Arthur C Clarke

9 March 2010

19 March 2010 marks the 2nd year death anniversary of late Sir Arthur Clarke. It is hard to imagine we have already made two orbits around the Sun without his presence. Of course his contributions still lives on and will continue to do so. As a tribute to him, the Sri Lanka Astronomical Association in partnership with Arthur C Clarke Estate and the British Council has organised an event for 17 March. This will feature, among other things, an illustrated talk by Arthur C Clarke's research assistant, a question and answer session, and a screening of the film 2010: The Year We Make Contact.

 

Date: Wednesday, 17 March 2010
Time: From 4.00 pm onwards

Venue: British Council Auditorium (49, Alfred House Gardens, Colombo 3)

Admission is free. Prior registration required. Please reserve your seat earlier as possible by contacting SLAA General Secretary Thilina Heenatigala on 0716 245 545 or thilina.heenatigala@yahoo.com
