Will this conference be live streamed, by any chance?

I lived in England for five years when I was in the U.S. Army. I lived in Harrogate, which is about 30 minutes from Leeds.

Very disappointing to see that only three of the eleven presentations over the two days are being presented "live" in the auditorium. Is this symptomatic of a falling-off in interest in the overall JFK assassination issue, or a reflection of a serious reduction in new research in the UK?

Just wondering, especially with the 60th anniversary coming next year.

I think it is Covid, convenience, cost and maybe even a little laziness. It costs hundreds of dollars to go in person but it is 100 percent free from the comfort of home. Especially if you have done a lot of these conferences (as I have), I either won't do them now or it would probably have to be remote.

Michael, DPUK have never 'live streamed' our Canterbury conference, but all the presentations should be loaded onto the DPUK website at some point later.  Membership of the group is not limited to the U.K.  We do have members in Europe, U.S. and the Far East, and we hold a high number of monthly Zoom presentations.

I know the N. Yorks moors, my son now lives on Ilkley moor.  God knows what the U.S. army was doing in Harrogate!  Escorting old ladies to the tea shops.  Sean reckons you were manning the early warning radars at Fylingdales!

Chris, make that two of the eleven presentations presented 'live'.  Johnny Cairns cannot make it down from Edinburgh, so his talk will be by video link too.  

Is this symptomatic of a falling off of interest?  I don't think so, but we have gone through Covid lockdown and now a looming energy crisis pushing up costs of almost everything, so finances are tight.  Over the last few years we have lost some giants in the research community through age/infirmity and retirements.  Our founder Ian Griggs and Mathew Smith sadly passed, Malcolm Blunt has taken a well-deserved 'backseat'.  Barry Keane has moved out into the wilds of Cymru and infirmity has caught up with regular presenters Alaric Rosman and Bill Beadle.  I think things are a serious reflection of our aging membership.  Nobody is getting any younger, I'm hitting 70 in some months' time.

I think it has been discussed on this Forum just what the JFK case means, if anything, to younger generations.  Will the group slowly become extinct?  Who knows.  There are societies that still study and discuss the psyche of Richard III and probe the sad demise of the princes in the tower in 1483.

Yes, 2023 the sixtieth anniversary may regenerate interest and new research.  Chris, it would be great to meet you once again in Canterbury next year.

I didn't realize DPUK had a YouTube channel. A disappointing 7 subscribers. Hopefully they'll upload more of their old content:
