What a fantastic day!. Loads of stalls (Spaceguard centre, 2 x astro socs, rocket clubs, authors, BIS + others), kids activities and talks. Oh didn't I mention, over 1,500 people over the threshold (More than twice the normal number of visitors)!

Thank you Droitwich Library for organising such a great event.

i think i went along to early, there wasnt nearly as much. but i had a chat with a couple of chaps from bromsgrove astro,they were most friendly.so i might just go along to the next meeting.

I totaly agree with Michael's comments. We (Bromsgrove Astro Society ) had a great if very tiring day. My wife and I only intended popping in for an hour or two and ended up staying for 5 hours.

I certainly rememer talking to PatBloke and with Michael, Chris and Rod from Worcs. as well as many others.

Hopefully some of you will join one of our societys.
