Hi all,
I didn't want to put this in Jen's thread asking for help as I think it should be placed on its own.
Cloudy Nights has a fantastic set of resources for Planning, teaching aids, and class handouts (http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/1038939/page/0/view/collapsed/sb/5/o/all/fpart/1) for outreach, star parties and viewing nights. This includes ideas on planning for kindy through to older kids, at a school, club or private viewing, sidewalk astronomy, organising star parties, handouts for schools and even public viewings, etc.
While some concepts have a USA slant on things, it still makes for an excellent reference that can be modified for Aussie, Kiwi, or any other conditions.
I hope you find it as useful as I have. :hi:
Mental.
