Westerdale Event 2025

The annual visit to Westerdale is scheduled for Friday, October 10th, beginning at 7:30pm and concluding by 9:30pm this year. The event will be held at Westerdale Village Hall as customary. Plan ‘A’ will see a preliminary indoor presentation followed by outdoor observations, should conditions allow. Last year's event consisted solely of plan ‘B’, an indoor presentation due to cloudy skies; nevertheless, Mark’s presentations were well received by a large audience, prompting numerous questions.

Hopefully, some familiar faces will be attending. Refreshments will be available inside the village hall, (most welcome if conditions are chilly outside as they sometimes can be). Members able to assist please contact Mark Dawson, we 'envisage' arriving at the venue shortly after 7pm, setting off from Whitby around 6:35pm.

Whitby Youth Hostel Events

Following several successful events hosted at Whitby Youth Hostel in recent years (often without any outside observations occurring), we shall be returning twice this October.  The first event is on Sunday October 26th, starting from 7pm, returning on Wednesday Oct 29th, again at 7pm. Both events are scheduled to finish around 9pm give or take.   

A similar format will be adopted to that of the previous visits i.e. a short introductory talk, a ‘Star Walk’, observations (if possible) and a closing presentation. The outside aspect will undoubtedly be subject to weather considerations, and possibly a light show as Whitby Abbey will be ghoulishly lit for Halloween.  Members wishing to assist please contact Mark. There are usually 2 car parking spaces set aside at the hostel.
