     In an effort to encourage more members to attend the Observing evenings, I have moved the venue to Otford. Meet at the Bull in the High St and then adjourn to the park opposite the pub for observing.... if it`s clear. There is a large car park by the open space there. The new information is now on the website.

     The park has a "big" sky, and the lighting around the car park isn`t too bad. Should people want to get a darker sky, the field is but a very short walk away ... alternatively scopes can be set up on the back of the car park; hard tarmac.

     I hope this meets with a good report; if the members wish to continue with this site, please let me know after the Observing evening. I unfortunately won`t be there but Andy Hoggan is my Deputy.

     Thanks, Doug.
Always look on the bright side of life ...

It is healthier to be mutton dressed as lamb, than mutton dressed as mutton!
