2026-2027 Season
25th February 2026 Short talks on buying, assembling, and using telescopes, including hands-on demonstrations.
We also offer an ICS Calendar file of all the meetings (main & beginners) of the session to add to your phone or email client. A new one for the 2025-2026 season can now be downloaded here
An annual membership is available for £20 and includes access to both our main speaker meetings and beginners’ meetings. Membership is free for children under 18, and we are always happy to welcome casual visitors. To help cover our costs, a £2 visitor fee applies per meeting for adults (children attend free). Our Telescope Workshops are free to attend, with a suggested donation of £1 per attendee. This donation also includes refreshments during the break.
