Outreach Programme
The skies are for everyone...
Newbury AS have a vibrant outreach programme that aims to bring the joys of astronomy to as many people as possible, young or old. If you know of an event that might benefit from a society presence/stand, or a group who might be interested in a talk on astronomy or even some guided stargazing, do get in touch with George on the outreach@newburyastro.org.uk email address
