Clubs and Societies, We Need You!

[iceman]

<P>The IceInSpace site now has a new section for Australasian Astronomical <A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/?clubs">Clubs and Societies</A>, and can be found on the left-hand-side menu. The section is divided into 2 categories:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Listings - where you can find a full listing of clubs and societies in Australia and NZ, their contact details etc.</LI>
<LI>Upcoming Events&nbsp;- where clubs and societies can announce an upcoming special event, star party, open night, etc.</LI></UL>
<P>I need your help to put some content in these sections, so whether you're a club member, secretary, treasurer or anyone else, please <A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/?contact">contact me</A> and provide me the details you want to see on the site. If you belong to a club, contact your club officials and point them in the direction of this site! :)</P>
<P>I've added a couple of clubs in there just to show a bit of content, but more information such as location, viewing nights, etc can be posted so please contact me with your details!</P>

Don't forget to tell your club members about the site, and if your club wants to announce an upcoming event or write an event report, just email me!

While this is not a club or society as such

http://www.mapletonss.qld.edu.au/observatory/indexpage.htm

is a comunity based Observatory at the Mapleton Primary School on the Sunshine Coast. If anyone is ever coming up this way PM me and we'll organize a tour if it doesn't coincide with a public open night.

Built through a grant from the Qld gaming commission (at least some of the money they collect is finding its way back into the community) and a lot of cake stalls. An excellent effort by all involved.

BTW were trying to organise a Star Party/Astrofest for June/July, so if anyone has any ideas about how to go about organising one of these I'd love to hear from you.

Cheers
Paul
