Oh how I wish i'd known about this! I went to University in Lincoln and those lectures were probably held at that my university as it's a teaching college! (i.e. a college that teaches teachers to teach!)

If i'd have know then I may have gone (depending on if they did a discount rate for me as a student) It was even while I was doing my degree. No one advertised it to us! Shame on the lecturing circle for not including those people who may one day be teaching dyscalculics!

Darn! Too bad I'm not in England. This really interests me.
