Charles Antaki @charlesantaki.bsky.social · 30/09/2026A new round of DARG date sessions starts today: 40th year running. In the old days we used to cram into a rather shabby teaching room; but it had chairs and a table, and gave us the space away from admin and teaching. An hour poring over tapes and transcripts amongst like-minded folk - marvellous. 032
