Where and When do we Meet?

The TAS generally holds two meetings per month through the astronomical 'season' from September to April.

One meeting per month is primarily an 'observational' event. The other monthly meeting is a 'speaker' event. See Programme on the right for full details. 

All meetings are held on Thursday evenings at: Torquay Boys' Grammar School, Shiphay Manor Drive, Torquay TQ2 7EL. There is plenty of FREE On-Site Parking available.

For directions to TBGS please see the map on this page.

Both observational and lecture meetings commence at 19.30pm, however we like everyone to be there by 19:15pm.  

We welcome non-members at all of our meetings. Non-members are asked to pay a small fee,  which is fully refundable against any subsequent membership fees.

Observational Evenings

Our observational evenings in particular offer an excellent opportunity for younger visitors to experience the night sky 'close up' - often for the first time. Just make sure they've done their homework first!

Speaker Evenings

Speaker evenings (A.G.M. excepted) comprise an illustrated talk from an expert speaker, informal discussions and observational reports, etc.
