The Ofey Club came into being to fulfill the absence of a much needed
mediator between professionals in different scientific disciplines and
the laymen. By organising lectures, demonstrations, observational facilities
and the like, we sincerely hope that we can harness the plethora of knowledge
of our teachers and through this process gain much insight into the wonders
of nature and the modern world and most importantly to pass the knowledge
beyond the boundaries of our institution.
A word about the club's name: the word 'Ofey' captured our imagination
after reading about the life and times of Nobel laureate Prof. Richard
P. Feynman who is regarded as one of the all time greats of Physics, not
only for his intellectual brilliance but also for his humour. He started
painting in his middle age and signed his paintings 'Ofey', which in the
original French - 'au fait' - meant 'it's done'.
The initiative has been taken to gather knowledge and disseminate it
although on a very small scale. We invite all those who can make contributions
towards this effort to contact us.
