Members of Hertford Astronomy Group will be in the Howard Centre, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, on Saturday 10th September. They will have a stand set up at the Boots / WH Smith's end of the shopping centre (turn right at the entrance, carry on to the end OR from the rail entrance go down the escalator and turn left).

They will be setting up from 8.30am and will be there until 5.30.

Thanks for the heads up, have been thinking of going to one of the local groups. I may just pop over and say hello.

You're welcome. I'm already a member of Letchworth & District AS but am looking at joining another group closer to WelHat where I'm based. BTW, LDAS will be having another public star party on October 22nd so check that one out as well. A lot of LDAS members come from the Stevenage / Hitchin areas so you may already know a few of them.

I was on that stand. Nice to meet you onesmallstep. See you on Wednesday.

Big shout out to the young lad who fell off the bench and destroyed our display boards, thanks for that!!,

[onesmallstep]

Whaaattt??? How did that happen and did he end up seeing stars?

See you at the meeting Weds!

A big thank you to everyone at the Hertford AG for their excellent public display on Saturday. Well done and I hope your efforts are worth it in terms of membership and profile.

Hello all at the Hertford Astronomy Group.

Unfortunately I missed this thread earlier and so did not know about the Howard Centre event. I have just had a look at the website and guess the "See you on Wednesday" comments refer to the next club meeting tomorrow night.

Living not to far away from Hatfield/Welwyn Garden City I was thinking about going along to the meeting.

Is it just a sit-down/chat/talk type of thing or should I bring binoculars, probably not worth taking my scope for the first event?

Hi

The format seems to be a meeting 8-10pm (arrive at 7.30 approx) and then observing depending on conditions so bring bins and/or scope just in case.

The venue is the Hatfield Cricket Club pavillion so plenty of parking plus a dark(ish) field behind the clubhouse. I'm also going so hope fully see you there.

Will hope to be able to get along to this. Do we need to register or just turn up on the night?
