Lecture Programme |
28th June 2008 |
The Society is a Registered Charity, we do not make charge for admission or membership but donations to the funds are gratefully received by the "Little Grey Box" which is in evidence at all the meetings and at our Observatory.
We try to structure the meetings to appeal to astronomers of all levels from beginner to expert. They normally consist of an introductory talk by one of our members, Society News, or an Observers Section followed by the lecture from the main speaker as detailed below.
