Bredhurst Village Hall

Join the friendly and welcoming members of the Mid-Kent Astronomical Society for this regular meeting at Bredhurst Village Hall which occur on the second and last Friday of each month.
These sessions include a presentation by a guest speaker and are open to non-members. All ages and levels of expertise are welcome, including complete beginners. There is a small entrance fee for each meeting to cover costs for tea and coffee.
Following the presentation, there will be a chance to talk with other MKAS members and then an observing session in the field behind the hall (weather permitting) and a telescope workshop in the hall, so if you have problems with your telescope, bring it along!
