Hi all,
Just to inform anyone in the western part of Victoria that we have a new Astro outfit.
The
'SNAKE VALLEY ASTRONOMICAL ASSOCIATION'
It is open to all ages and you don't really have to live in Western Victoria to join, but it makes it a bit hard to attend all the viewing nights and get-togethers if you don't, but hey, your welcome.
We are not an association of 'meetings about viewing'. We 'View!'
We are putting together a library of interesting accessories and books, so members can borrow EP's, magazines, books etc from the library. Helps kids get to use better EP's than DSE provide.
If you would like to contribute to our library, feel free to send any accessories you believe kids could use to enhance their viewing experience and stay with our great hobby. Old scopes, EP's, Astro books etc. To send any items please PM Darren (wombat-in-space) or myself.
We already conduct Astro fun days in the local schools, and we will be holding open nights as weather permits.
Don't forget to check out our website too:
