Weather permitting, WDAS members will once again be making the short journey to the East Cliff and Whitby Youth Hostel.  Two events are scheduled, the first being on February 18th  from 7pm, with a further event on February 21st - again from 7pm

A previous event. You cannot see the cloud - for the trees!

Both will follow a similar format adopted at previous events held there, introductory talk, observations (if possible), scale demonstrations, and a further presentation. The structure is deliberately fluid taking account of conditions on the night.  We did have some sucess in November, when last there and we are surely due a clear evening or two this year, but Mother nature doesn't always 'think' along similar lines. We need to be on site for 6:30pm. Further details will be given at the February meeting.

There is also a possibility we may yet be involved with an event at Danby Observatory - we'll contact individuals directly should this prove the case.  

Looking further ahead we may have several events in March (details TBA) More on all of these at the February meeting.
