Winter 2004 Programme of Meetings
Ordinary meetings take place at 8pm (Civil Time) in the City Dome of the City Observatory, Calton Hill (usually on the first Friday of the month). On other Fridays we are often there between 8pm and 10pm if the skies are clear. Please check by phone before coming up the hill.
Any changes to our meeting arrangements will be put on our website http://www.astronomyedinburgh.org/ and on the answering machine at the observatory (556 4365).

| Due to unavoidable delays in
circulating the Annual Report and Accounts the AGM has been
postponed to the last Friday on March. Members are invited
to attend a meeting of the Council which will follow the
AGM. (It has been pointed out that this is Good Friday and that some members will be unable to attend because of other commitments. We apologise for this unavoidable clash but it was necessary to hold the AGM as near to the end of March as possible.) |
