Forum

During the NSW Physical Distancing period, SLA is not inviting the public to attend forums physically.

SLA Forums are now virtual! — Just follow that month’s zoom webinar link in the relevant forum post at 7pm on the first Thursday of that month (except January).

We aim to have a guest speaker or show an interesting film. The gatherings have proved quite popular with topics ranging from Solar Hot Water practicalities, electric vehicles, a glimpse at local food production past, present and future and films such as The breakthrough in renewable energy.

All welcome.
