Saturday 4th February
This was a special treat for us with Alan, Leon and john making the trek to deepest and darkest rural Norfolk to give a adult presentation of “Heavens Above” to 25 Guide Leaders and some really dark skies enabled them to see the Moon, Venus, Mars and the great nebula in Orion.
Best comment of the evening was “that was so much better than watching a film”.
Happy New Year everyone.
Our annual Stargazing Live event is earlier than usual this year. This means with the possibility of clear skies, we will have a darker and longer time to enjoy the night sky.
This is an Outdoor and Indoor event.
The chance (weather permitting) to look at some of the wonders of the sky, and indoor activities to please your curiosity.
SATURDAY 7th JANUARY 2017
2pm-8pm
Please come along and we will have:
* Telescope Displays & telescopes setup and demonstrated by some of our members
* Advice on using a telescope
* Short Video Clips of Space Exploration and general Astronomical subjects.
* Gallery of Astrophotography

* Interactive Planetarium ( Stellarium demonstrated on a computer screen )
* Astronomy, Space related books for sale
* Outside Burger Van with hot food and drinks

Great News! It has been decided by the Society that all First visits by any non members to an Evening talk will now be free. This will allow you to make up your mind if you would like to join the Society. We are excited to offer this opportunity and hope it will help anyone who isn’t quite sure about paying the £5 non member fee for their first visit. It’s only fair we make it as easy and accessible as we can to anyone who is unsure. This offer has now been added to our Membership Fees page, and will continue indefinitely. We look forward to meeting you….
