Weekly Meetings
Each Thursday we meet in The Godlee Observatory (apart from the Public Lecture evenings and the Christmas/New Year break, when the Observatory will be closed), from about 19:00. Any scheduled talks will start at about 20:00. Weather permitting, we may also observe using the telescopes until as late as people want to stay. If you are interested in coming to any of these meetings please see the visitor information page.
During the Coronavirus pandemic, our "physical" meetings are suspended and we are using ZOOM video-conferencing. You can see what's in the night sky for the next month by visiting our JOURNAL page. As the Government's Coronavirus Restrictions are in a constant state of flux, we have not yet included any meeting details after April. The months of May onwards will be updated once the future restrictions are made clear.
