Reading Astronomical Society

Join the friendly and welcoming members of the Reading Astronomical Society for this one of their regular meetings held on the third Saturday of each month. These events involve a presentation by a guest speaker, a chance to catch up with fellow astronomers and to find out about observing opportunities. Non-members are welcome to attend their first meeting as a guest.

On the fourth Friday of each month from August to May, astronomers from the Reading Astronomical Society hold an astronomy outreach session at Swallowfield Parish Hall. These sessions are ideal for beginners and suitable for all ages. Stargazing outside the hall using telescopes is a priority should weather permit. You're welcome to take along your telescope if you have one for expert advice. All ages can attend; younger ones are welcome to join the stargazing sessions. Sessions also include a talk on an astronomical topic ideal for novices, indoor demonstrations and what is visible in the night sky. Refreshments will be available. There is no charge for these meetings and no need to book in advance.
