Not a bunch of mercenaries ready to strip you of your ready cash! We are a student-run society based in the School of Physics at La Trobe University. Our membership is not confined to physics students .... in fact, we encourage other people to join!

Membership in 2002 topped 150 people and we are one of the best value societies on campus (all this for only $10 per year).

We know what you are thinking ... physics and the Physics Society are just for those brainy folks with no social life!

Wrong!

Find out the real truth - all the really fun stuff is easy to deal with, in fact you don't need to study physics at all.

So, what does the Physics Society do?

• Regular social events during the semester, usually at lunchtime.
• Guest speakers on topics which involve physics. Past topics include diverse areas such as:
  • bloodstain patterns at crime scenes
  • the history of physics in Australia
  • the physics of sport
• Regular astronomy nights are held using the School of Physics telescope (10" reflector).
• Four PHYSOC BBQ's open to members! The first occuring in the year is free to all members. The biggest is held during the last week of semester 2 and involves comsuming as much food and beer as possible before the serious business of exam study begins!
• The Physics Coffee Lounge runs during these events, as well as in O-week, and on Open Day

Plus .... anything our members want us to organise. We want your ideas! Email us!
