The first meeting of 2018/19 season will be on Monday 3rd September, it starts at 8pm sharp in our usual venue of Ballyclare High School Lecture Theatre. Directions can be found here.
For our first meeting, our very own observing expert and society secretary, Stevie Beasant will be giving us a talk titled Observing the Autumn Sky.
As many of our members know, Stevie knows his night sky, and with darker evenings now approaching it's time to get the telescopes dusted off and get out observing. This months newsletter 'Alzimuth' has been produced to accompany Stevie's talk.
Please note: Under 16's are very welcome but due to our child protection policy, we ask that they are accompanied by an adult.
As always we will have refreshments available after the meeting, a donation bucket is available at the door if you wish to support us in our work!
Hope to see you all there! |
