Our objectives are to foster the practice and enjoyment of astronomy, cosmology and related interests.
We pursue these goals by:
Bringing together people interested in astronomy for mutual help, exchange of ideas and development of their knowledge
Organising and encouraging astronomical observations
Holding social events and visits
Circulating Society news, observations, and current astronomical information by means of a Society Newsletter
We hold regular talks from both visiting speakers and members, on a wide range of topics from Cosmology to Astronomy in Ancient Egypt, to Particle Physics, to Meteorology. Weather-permitting, observing evenings are encouraged, especially for special events such as meteor showers and comets, and a 6" Dobsonian telescope is available for members' use. Social events such as barbecues are often arranged to coincide with observations.
