Dear members,

Having reviewed the situation with regard to the Coronavirus epidemic, sadly the OAS Committee has decided to cancel until further notice both our regular monthly meetings at St Francis of Assisi Church Hall, Petts Wood and our Observing Sessions at the Otford Memorial Village Hall. Meetings and Observing Sessions will commence again when we feel that it is both safe and appropriate to do so, bearing in mind any requirements for people to still isolate and any directives from the Government concerning gatherings. We will obviously keep you informed of any developments by email and via the Website and Forum. Despite this the Society will still be operating: at this moment we are considering issuing TOAST monthly instead of quarterly and Doug will still be posting his Observing Notes on the Website. So with this in mind, if you have anything you think might be of interest to other members, even if it's just an interesting Website you have visited or a review of a shiny new piece of kit you've bought, please send it to us for inclusion in TOAST either via the 'Enquiries' link on the Website:

enquiries@orpington-astronomy.org.uk

or directly to me at the following address:

chair@orpington-astronomy.org.uk

Keep well and clear skies.

Roy
