The Society holds weekly observing sessions at the Observatory, weather permitting, and all members are invited to attend on Thursday evenings at 1930hrs. If anyone wishes to do so, you are advised to phone Graham Boots (01903 505346) on the day to confirm whether it will be going ahead. It is also recommended that before your first observing session, you visit during daylight hours to familiarise yourself with the site and equipment. Again, please contact Graham to arrange this.

We also have several Star Parties planned. See the Star Parties page for more details.
