Fixed itself by updating sympy

DH: Firedrake 2023/2024/2025 Meetings

• 2023: DH suggests September in Europe, suggest Imperial.
• 2024: we could do a follow on to SIAM PP24 but there is not yet any information about the conference. Suggest Oxford (DH to talk to Patrick Farrell).
• 2025: SIAM CSE25 will be at Fort Worth so could have RK hosting. DS has also offered.
