SOCIETY VISIT TO SPACEGUARD OBSERVATORY, POWYS
The Society plans to visit Spaceguard Observatory at Knighton, Powys on Saturday July 27th.
We need to have an idea of how many plan to come so that we can book an suitably sized coach.
Partners and children are welcome and the entrance fee is £6 per adult and £3 per child, plus the
cost of the coach. Details can be found at http://www.spaceguarduk.com/
BRIDGEND ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY
We are a small club of astronomy enthusiasts and amateurs who share a common passion and curious wonderment for our amazing night skies.
Between September and May, we meet on the second Friday of each month at Pyle Church Hall where guest speakers and club members give talks on various subjects followed by Q&A.
Each talk provides an opportunity to speak with people who are well informed, knowledgeable and are often very highly regarded in their fields of expertise.
In addition (and weather permitting), we hold observation sessions where club members can bring their own telescopes and binoculars or make use of equipment provided by the club itself.
Society members come from all walks of life with wide ranging levels of knowledge and experiences and, as like minded amateurs, we welcome anyone with a genuine interest in astronomy.
