The advent of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), with its ability to peer deep inside the globular clusters (GCs) of our Galaxy and resolve individual stars (Paresce et al. 1991), provided reason enough to include stellar evolution in cluster models.We only have to look at the beautiful images of stars in the core of, say, Omega Centauri (Carson, Cool & Grindlay 2000) to be motivated to produce colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) from simulations to match those emanating from HST. There are also a number of questions relating to stellar populations in star clusters that require a combination of stellar evolution and stellar dynamics for investigation.
