Tonight's observing evening at crigglestone is CANCELLED .  Looks like the cloud will be rolling in making observing pointless. it's  a shame but these things happen.

Hope you have all recovered from the Chris Lintott and curry evening.

Well the winter season hasn't begun well with as much cloud as we can shake an eyepiece at.

It's the christmas quiz night so I hope you can all attend and sorry I'm going to miss another interesting meeting .

Thank you to all those that attended the AGM last night.

A few new ideas went to vote and will be in the update when Vicky has wrote up the minutes of the meeting.

I have updated the membership list accordingly. Many thanks to Soupy and Vicky for standing in whilst I have not been available.

Hi Lee. The next meeting is 23rd February as it had been moved back a week due to the school half term holiday. We will hopefully have Paul Money giving his talk on Voyager. Hopefully see you there

Just a reminder that it is our WADAS meeting tonight at Horbury Academy with our very own chairman Paul "Soupy" Campbell giving his talk entitled "Inner space - our own corner of the Galaxy!". 

Due to parents evening at the school, the meeting will have a slightly later starting time of 7.45pm.

Hopefully see a few of you there for what promises to be a very interesting evening

Hope everyone has a good one I'm working while 8 so don't think I'll make it.

Just a reminder that our next WADAS meeting is this Thursday 6th April 2017 where we have our very own Gain Lee giving his talk on Observing and Imaging Galaxy Superclusters.

 

This promises to be a very interesting and entertaining evening as Gain, in his very own style, imparts some of the wealth of knowledge he has gained over the many years he has held a passion for astronomy.

Meeting starts at 7.30pm at Horbury Academy.

Everyone welcome, however there will be a £3.00 charge for non-members.
