    I have a number of book from a past member who has now died and I’m wondering if you would like to look at them, take what you would like and pass the rest to a charity shop.

      The Society will always be interested in books from a past members and if you can get in touch with me (keithbrackenborough@gmail.com) I will be delighted to come along and look at the collection before they go to a charity shop. Astronomy is a fast moving subject and some of the earlier books may be a bit dated now, but we can advise.

    My father, Ron Weston, who was an honorary member of the society sadly passed away in May aged 95 after a brief decline (not covid). He was an avid collector of books from the 1940s to the present times. We wondered if the library would like to choose about 50 of his books – or less if you are lacking in shelf space. Authors include Darwin, Dawkins, Dennett, P Davies, Gribbins. Popper, Chomsky, Penrose, Rovelli and many many more.
    I am in Hastings if you would like to come and choose some books. If this is not of interest then it is not a problem

    Regards, Jane Weston
