These are held every month from September/October to July. We usually have a visiting speaker, but we also have talks by our members, slide shows and demonstrations. Part of the evening is set aside for refreshments and informal discussions.
There is on-road parking available. Doors open at 7.00 pm, and the meetings start at 7.30pm, when members and visitors can browse our growing library of books and magazines concerning all things astronomical and view display panels containing news about the Society and recent astronomical events. Committee members are available for up-to-date information and brief chats both before the meeting and during the refreshments break.
Any meetings programme is inevitably a pot-pourri of speakers and topics, the choice of which depends on many factors, not least the willingness of an individual to give freely of his/her time. The meetings secretary endeavours to arrange a varied programme to cater for all tastes, in which both professional astronomers and amateurs (all experts in their particular fields) travel from far and wide to share their knowledge with us and keep us up to date with recent developments.
