Club chairman Alex Simpson will lead a two-night observing session starting at 10pm.
It's autumn! Please remember to wrap up warm against the cold night air, and against any stinging plants or insects.
Club chairman Alex Simpson will lead a two-night Leonid-watching exercise, so as to maximise the chances of good weather and seeing at least some meteors. The Leonids are very much a late-night / early-morning affair, so please note the 11pm start.
It's autumn! Please remember to wrap up warm, should you wish to join me!
We would like to invite you to our annual informal Christmas get-together! Hope to see you there! Your inescapable chairman Alex will be present from about 9pm.
We would also like to wish all our long-standing friends and supporters a most sincere, if slightly early, Happy Christmas and New Year!
Hiatus coming to an end
Hello everybody! This is your chairman Alex. I've gone through a rather grim period recently, but I'm feeling a whole lot better now. I'm happy to continue as before for at least the foreseeable future / next few months. It is my hope and aspiration that we will be able to hold some kind of rather belated annual general meeting in either October or November. An announcement will follow in September.
Between now and then the club will be offering a modest but hopefully satisfactory programme of outdoor observing, a possible science fiction film showing, and the occasional pub gathering. As for monthly meetings, I'm afraid the prospect of them is still rather uncertain, but we hope it can be resolved in the coming months.
Thank you all for your longstanding support and friendship.
