[[[>40 !! #COVID-19#UPDATE,#23AUGUST2021# Our programme for the year 2020-21 has now been completed. We have had four successful Zoom meetings, the Pop Maths Quiz took place online and Open Challenge was held in an essentially normal form. The Pop Maths Quiz attracted 139 students in 36 teams from 15 schools; for further details, please go to Event_20210306_PopMathsQuiz. Open Challenge had 87 entries from 34 schools; an online event for participants in Open Challenge was held on 19 May; a report is available at Event_20210519_OpenChallengePrizeEvening2021. Arrangements for our 2021-22 programme are well underway (see announcement on the left). We shall again not be receiving our usual sponsorship so membership will remain of great importance. The FunMaths Roadshow also remains on sale and will hopefully become more relevant as schools return to normality. The LivMS Bursary Fund (charity no. 1156909) remains open for business. The next deadline is #30#September#2021.# We will favour projects designed to help with the recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. Go to Joyce Hatton Memorial Bursaries for more information and to apply. ]]] !
