Annual Report for 2001

Visitors to the Observatory

On 6th March a group from the Bentley Drivers Club and on 26th March the Broughton History Society visited the Observatory.

On Saturday 8th September, the Society hosted the Aurora Section meeting of the British Astronomical Society. More than 40 delegates from all over the U.K attended this very successful meeting, which was organised by BAA Section Director and ASE member, Ron Livesey. We were very pleased to welcome Dr Nick Hewitt who attended the meeting in his capacity as President of BAA.

The Society has continued to forge closer links with other Scottish Astronomical Societies, in particular Falkirk and Stirling who have joined us for lecture meetings as well as participating in the observing sessions.
