Your Society is always looking for volunteers to help, which could be anything from work on the observatory itself, through to making refreshments for the tours we organise. Requests for specific tasks or projects will appear here on this page, and also be announced in Society news.

An historical table of such requests will be maintained here, with a start date and an end date so that you can readily identify where help may still be required. Current help required will be at the top of the table below.
