@RobertJackson58585858 @genchat @genchat I have a pair of cousins who both emigrated with their families from / to via in 1830 and 1846. Both groups travelled on the same named ship - The Courier, but it appears the two ships were actually different vessels. The cost and logistics of the journey seem to have been quite an achievement at this distance.

We tried to figure out how 's finance minister came to be declared the best on the continent.

We found a very confused UK lord, and a one-man-band Nigerian company in a Scottish apartment building.

phillipdewet,

Plot twist. While 's finance minister did not receive an award from a UK peer, there was local-level official British involvement.

The office of Police and Crime Commissioner for , Festus Akinbusoye, finally confirmed he was there.

I asked if he vetted the award or organiser.

"The Commissioner attended this event as a guest speaker and was therefore not required to vet any award or company who were part of the event."

(They say he wasn't paid.)

It's about time @MathsJam got started up again.

:kovalevskaya:

If you like maths and, more to the point, meeting other people who like maths in a pub, then is your kind of thing!

Find your nearest one here: https://mathsjam.com/find-a-jam/

:turing:

If you're in , , or the chances are that is your closest one!

:lovelace:

We'll be trying out some new ones in Milton Keynes to find something that works well. Join us on 18th July at Brewhouse & Kitchen MK for an evening of informal mathsjamming with fellow maths fans, and join the discussion list at https://www.freelists.org/list/bletchleymathsjam to continue the conversation & get updates.

:ramanujan:

You can also follow https://twitter.com/bletchleyjam on Twitter if you're over there too.

I haven't set up an account for Bletchley MathsJam here because I'm not yet aware of anyone other than me with a Mastodon account who is (A \cap B) where (A) = {a : lives works or otherwise finds themselves in or near Milton Keynes} and (B) = {b : wants to talk about maths with other people}.
