Kielder Observatory - main news

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but on the BBC news tonight a piece on the new expansion of Kielder Observatory and resort. It was a good few minutes and interview with staff - it's getting popular as it attracts guest out of the normal summer season, naturally.

I work as a volunteer at the Kielder observatory and there is much excitement about the new phase as it will have a kitchen LOL. At the moment we have to make about 30 cups of hot chocolate in a space about 4ft x 2ft. Seriuosly the new observatory will be brilliant. It is getting very popular and at present there is a long waiting list for bookings. Every event that I go to is full.
