Forthcoming Public Society Activities and Public Observing Sessions

This page provide an annual overview of our public activities.  The left column provide all the details (date, weather site links...) needed to attend one of our public observing sessions.  The right column provide all the details of other activities - usually set up by other associations/societies - where we will be participating.

On the home page of the site, we will change the status of each evening from 'planned' to either
  • 'Going Ahead' - meaning that we will arrive at the time above on that evening
  • 'Cancelled' - meaning that we will not turn up. This will be the case if the weather is not good enough for observing or if there is not enough members able to attend.

It is important that you check the home page on the above dates. We will modify the page at around 6.30pm
