Heads up for those in the Stoke-on Trent area.

Just to let you know (if you don't already) that Nigel Bradbury is giving a talk on "the Northern Lights Experience" at the North Staffordshire Astronomical Society on the 6th May at 7.00 pm (£2.00 for non-members). I've seen it and it's well worth a look. His enthusiasm is contagious to say the least. It could also be a good opportunity for Stoke SGL members to meet each other. Who knows...they might even let people from the outlying towns in as well

Swear I'd never go again but if the talks good it's better than stopping in and watching the idiot lantern
