We tend to have a 30 minute presentation followed by a discussion. We spend the rest of the time trying to solve problems, offer advice, or just have a bit of a gossip. There is usually a lot of laughter.

We went to The Story: Durham where we had a tour of the strong rooms followed by a chance to do some research in the Search room.
