Addendum to the January Minutes

The eagle eyed amongst you will have noted that a list of Paul's photos was ommitted from the January minutes. Sadly there does not appear to be a means of editing them so....................

Pauls photographs taken over the course of 2007 included, in order, amongst others ( of which I haven't got a note):
Comet McNaught, Saturn, Spiral galaxy (but which) Milky Way, Star Party, Mars, Comet Holmes, Casseopeia and Andromeda.

I look forward to the vituperative comments from Paul and others.

The Chairman welcomed everyone to the 431st meeting of the Society.

One minutes silence was held, as a mark of respect, in memory of Don Utton who died suddenly in December.

Don had been a member for round 17 years and was a former Chairman and Secretary of ADAS.

Don was a real stalwart of the Society, the type of person who was always prepared to do anything that needed to be done or to help anyone who needed it. He will be greatly missed.

It was agreed that £25 would be donated to Brain Tumour UK in memory of Don.

Paul Clark gave a presentation of photographs taken over 2007 including amongst others:

Paul’s presentation was followed by a quiz, arranged by Kevin Thurstan. Those attending were split into 2 teams and although Kevin wondered if the quiz had been too easy it was noted that no team got all the correct answers!

The Secretary had nothing to report.

The only correspondence of note was from the British Astronomical Association enclosing their Journal, Year Book, and Programme, which have been deposited in our cupboard in the Scout Hall.
