An afternoon and evening of Astronomy

Once again we are hosting an afternoon-evening Astronomy event at the IoA where members of the CAA and of certain invited clubs are aiming to join us for a series of lectures and presentations, with some observing to follow if the weather cooperates. It would be helpful if those wishing to join us could register their interest so we know how much to cater for in the refreshments
