CLUB MEETINGS
Last updated: 02.06.2008
Our club meetings take place at 8 pm on the first Wednesday of each month in
room 301 at
Mary
Immaculate college
in Limerick.
(Just double check with the receptionist in the lobby in case of a change on the
night.)
Meetings are an informal get together, all levels of interest are catered for,
from absolute beginner to the professional!
Our format usually takes the form of, a
presentation on a projector by one of our club members of the highlights in the
coming months sky
and any questions relating to this are welcome.
Then usually we have a brief 'news section' in
which we discuss any new astronomical discoveries or events of interest and
offer a Q& A on this.
Finally we have a (usually) visiting speaker give a presentation on a topic....
(see below)
If you have a telescope and are having
difficulty or need advice getting a new telescope,
you are welcome to come along to the club meetings and seek our advice.
If you cannot make it to a club meeting, you can always drop us an email, we
will do out best to answer any questions you may have.
(go to the club section and email any of us from there)
