Event Name:  Public Astronomy Session
Event Description:  11am - 4pm At the north end of the pedestrianised shopping centre, near Waterstones bookshop and the Armillary Sphere. What are these sessions? As well as having people come to our observatory, we go out to the public. We will be taking some telescopes out to town centres around the area and to other events. The idea is to give people a chance to look through a telescope as well as to talk with them about the society and our programmeof events. What will we be doing? We'll have a gazebo - to act as an eye-catcher as to provide some shelter if needed (!) - and a few telescopes so the people can have a look at them and also use them to do some daylight observing. Depending on the telescopes available and the date (and the weather), we should be able to safely show the public sunspots and prominences on the Sun. We will of course also have information about the society and our activities, and we'll be happy to talk with people about any aspect of astronomy.
