EVENTS
Over the years the Society has run a number of exhibitions, and has attended many astronomical events.
Below are a few examples
 |
In spring 2016 the Society joined forces with Pollen House Pictures to prepare a short film for schools. A number of local children were also involved in the project and the just under three minute movie, called “Out of this World”, can be seen on You Tube, using this link. Those present saw great views of Jupiter and the Moon as well as seeing the International Space Station flying overhead! |

The Society came out of the very first 'Space Age' Exhibition organised by Fred Clarke (left) at the Arts Centre, Wood Green, in 1970. It was at this event that Patrick Moore came to give one talk, and ended up giving four! |
Not an ASH event per se, but for the Total Solar Eclipse of 2006, several members of the Society individually made their way to Turkey, l-r: Jim Webb; Charles Towler and Mat Irvine. Mike Roberts was also in the country, but at a different location |

For the first of the pair of this century's Transits of Venus, (2004), the Society set up viewing facilities at Ashmole School. |
