Meetings are on the Saturday closest to the new moon. With the              lighter evenings in the summer months we do try to have a                        speaker in
                                                
       Non club members are very welcome to join us on any of the club            meetings. If you do not have a telescope you are most welcome to            use our members telescopes. 
                                          
       There is a small charge per Person of £3. However on nights with a        speaker a charge of £5 is asked.

       Tea/Coffee and Biscuits are provided within that price. 

       Doors open 7.30.
       Please check our FB page for any late changes on the day . 

 
      On Observing nights we still meet at the hall.
      Getting outside for some observing at the back of the hall 
      or up at badger Farm is always an option after a talk as taken              place.
                                                                                                                            
          Badger farm viewing site safety Advice                                                                             
       Please be aware that Badger Farm our observing site is a grassed  gently              sloping area but also with some small holes  and bumps Ect so a little more        uneven under foot in places and of course Dark. Do bring a red light to                help see where you are placing your feet. Importantly for your own safety            wear suitable stout  footwear with good ankle support  and suitable warm          clothing you can get very cold it being as exposed as the viewing area is.

            For use during the viewing session we request Red lights be used to                                                         to save effecting night vision
