Stars & Snowdrops 2012 a success despite the weather!

Thank you to the 600+ who came along this year despite the postponement and the bad weather on Saturday. Sunday's weather made up for the previous day and many visitors were delighted with the the views of the sun through the solar telescope and, later, Venus in the daytime sky!

Thanks especially to the many members of the community and friends of friends who came out to support us when we had to shift the dates. We might have had to cancel otherwise, so it's heartwarming that you all volunteered.

And thank you to Graham Whiting for this wonderful panorama taken at the event!
