The Cranfield Astronomical Society meet weekly during term time on the Cranfield University Campus from October to Easter.
Observing from their Loxham Observatory is the main priority for these sessions; if the weather is inclement, the group gathers in the nearby Cranfield Student Association lounge.
Meetings are attended mainly by Cranfield University students and staff; however, persons not related to the University are very welcome as associate members. Please get in touch with the Society if you would like to go along.
