February meeting
We had a near record turnout for our February meeting and welcomed several new members and visitors. We were able to get our AGM out of the way quickly so we could get to Bud Budzynski’s excellent talk ‘A life on Mars’. Bud raised a whole lot of interesting issues for us to consider and I got the impression from the discussion afterwards that not many of us would fancy making the trip any time soon. Leave it to robotics was the consensus.
Thanks to Alan Hall for producing those attractive planet information sheets for us. They proved very popular. If you didn’t get yours, some should be available at the next meeting.
After the break, Arthur Davis presented his Sky notes for March and Bob Mizon followed with his ‘ Object of the month’.
The evening ended with some recent solar images from Ron.
Many thanks to everyone for helping with setting up and putting away and especially those who helped in the kitchen. We couldn’t manage without you!
The Redstart School event will start at 6.30 on Thursday 17th March. If you can bring a ‘scope, please let Ron know. The more of us the merrier. Address is Redstart School, Redstart Road, Chard, TA20 1SD
Next month our speaker will be Chris Starr, Chairman of Wells and Mendip Astronomers whose talk will be ‘Dawn of the Solar System’. Not to be missed, so we look forward to seeing you there.
