BOOK A CUSTOMISED TOUR FOR YOUR ORGANISATION OR SPECIAL FAMILY OCCASION The Society hosts tours of the Observatory for organisations wishing to know more about our activities. If the sky's clear, there'll be the chance to do some observing through our telescopes. Prepare to be amazed! To get the ball rolling, don't hesitate to drop us a quick email at , with an estimate of attendee numbers and two or three dates that would suit your group. Your request will be reviewed at the next Committee meeting (held on the third Thursday of each month). We'll then let you know when we can accommodate you (subject to availability of the Observatory and personnel). Prior to your group visit, we recommend an official from your organisation visits the Observatory to help ensure the visit goes safely and smoothly. |
