PLEASE NOTE NEW MONTHLY MEETING START TIME OF 7.30 PM

We meet at 7.30 pm on the first Wednesday of every month at the Methodist Church Hall, Rhododendron Avenue, Sticklepath, Barnstaple, EX31 2DJ.

Every meeting will start with a short introduction to what to find in the night sky for that coming month, followed by either one or two Astronomy related talks, with questions actively encouraged. We also hold telescope evenings a couple of times a year where members can explore equipment and ask questions.

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 with you informally about the benefits of joining the North Devon Astronomical Society.
