The Institute's regular special lectures comprise the Huxley Memorial Lecture (delivered annually), the Presidential Address (delivered at least once in each presidency) and the Henry Myers and Curl Lectures (given in alternate years). Other special events are organised from time to time, and are widely advertised.'
