[SydPhil] blackheath philosophy forum dates for april

[Sandra Jobson Darroch]

    Dear Sydphil,

    I'm sending all three of our April Blackheath PhilOsophy Forum
    events in this email because Easter has intervened and I'm not sure
    of your deadlines.

    I hope you can still include the item about our first Forum on April
    9 which is only a week away.

    Here are all three announcements.

    Many thanks,

    Sandra Darroch
    Secretary.
