If you can spare a couple of hours to help with our upcoming IYA events around the Island, we would be pleased to hear from you. The next few events should be quite large and we really need as many members as possible to attend. Hopefully you can bring you telescope or binoculars along and help us to spread the "astronomy" word..... Please contact Bill or Brian at the observatory on a Thurday or at the monthl ymeetings. |

Yet again details of the venue for our monthly meeting have been misreported. The meeting will be held, as usual, in the Newport Parish Hall and not, as stated elsewhere, at Brading Roman Villa. |

Somehow, Sky at Night magazine have listed in their society news that Vectis' next meeting will be by Bob Mizon at Brading Roman Villa, and listed our old web address. This informatin is NOT CORRECT The meeting will be held, as usual, in the Newport Parish Hall and not, as stated elsewhere, at Brading Roman Villa. |
