Our last star gazing session was a great success and by popular request we are organising another thanks to Howard. We may have the opportunity to use Moorland House garden so we will be a bit better protected from passing traffic’s headlights but, if not, we will use the layby as we did last year. We have a fall back date for the following night if the weather is unsuitable.
Contact Howard Watson if you are interested.
