Ilkeston & District Astronomical Society invite you to join them for this open, informal meeting held on the last Wednesday of every month in the Green Room of the Shipley Country Park Visitors Centre. If the weather allows, there may be an ad-hoc stargazing session!
Turn right, immediately after Cullums, down a single-track road that will lead to a small car park at the side of the visitors’ centre. Then walk around to the rear, and the entrance is adjacent to the outdoor play area.
