Next Meetings
Meetings will be limited to zoom software for the time being.

Nov 27th, 7pm

The scale of the solar system.

Gerry Bond – amateur at everything.

When talks are performed at schools and youth-groups we take scale models of the planets and the sun to place at scale distances. We lose a lot of peas that way. This talk aims to virtually unite the United Kingdom and reveal a series of off-the-wall facts about the other worlds and our own.

This is a virtual talk on zoom – access details will be provided on the newslist.

Dec 12th, 7pm

Members at Home

Denizens of Observatories – various participants.

Electronic backdrops not allowed for this zoom social. A virtual tour of the observatories of members and we want to be in the company of your favourite telescopes.
