The WPAOG is very happy to continue supporting the Astronomy Club at the Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Ashbourne. The Club is now in its second year and is an important part of the schools development as a Space Science Hub.

Our group members help teaching staff and pupils with practical observing sessions making use of the schools telescopes supplemented by group members own scopes. The club meets once each month during term times and this year meeting nights will be agreed and published at short notice to try to pick the best nights for observing.

When cloudy nights cannot be avoided group members assist with classroom activities and short presentations to help develop an understanding of astronomy and an interest in the night sky.

In addition to club nights, talks on astronomy and space science are planned for pupils and their parents. Details will be published as soon as these arrangements are finalised.
