About us
Everyone is welcome
from beginners to
experienced observers.
Like most local Societies, we exist mainly as a forum for satisfying our own personal interest and enjoyment of the subject we’re passionate about: Astronomy.
MONTHLY MEETINGS
Our meetings are held at Surrey University, Lecture Theatre M. The meeting will also be streamed to members via Zoom.
Every month we have a guest speaker and usually a presentation of what you can expect to see in the night sky during the month.
Our next meeting will be held on 5th December at 19.30.
