Please
note we now have Wireless & Cable Broadband available for
members
at Kenley. There is no excuse for not attending if it
is cloudy - there is a lot of astronomical information
on the Internet. Bring your own laptop if possible.
This
gives us the opportunity to have training sessions on
the use of the Virtual Observatory & other astronomical
facilities on the Internet.
