North Devon Astronomical Society 

We meet at 19:45 on the first Wednesday of every month at the Methodist Church Hall, Rhododendron Avenue, Sticklepath, Barnstaple, EX31 2DJ.

 

If you would like to know more about the Society, you are welcome to attend two of our meetings for free as a visitor. You can then find out about the Society's activities, listen to talks and meet members.  We will be happy to answer questions and to chat ith you informally about the benefits of joining the North Devon Astronomical Society.

 

 

Please do volunteer to give a talk, no matter your experience or expertise, so that we can put on a full and varied program. With lots of different voices it will lead to a diversity of topics and different levels of expertise. Short talks should last about 15 minutes and long talks about 40 minutes.
