THE ASTRONOMER ANNUAL MEETING, 2006 SEPTEMBER 23
This year's annual meeting of 'The Astronomer' will be held on Saturday, 
2006 September 23 at St. Mary's Church Complex, Goat Lane, Basingstoke 
starting at 11.00am.

I am delighted to announce a provisional list of speakers and talks and 
especially to let readers know that the Reverend Bob Evans from 
Australia will be one of them! As I am sure everyone knows, his 
remarkable success of visually detecting extra-galactic supernovae has 
been legendary so we are very honoured to welcome him on this occasion. 
We are also delighted that Dr. Robin Catchpole from Cambridge is able to 
address us.

Provisional List of speakers:
Amateur astronomers and the Accelerating Universe: Bob Evans
The Universe Unveiled: Dr.Robin Catchpole
OJ287: a slight case of schizophrenia: Mark Kidger and Gary Poyner
The sun in a different light: Maurice Gavin
Goodbye to UBVRI: Dr. Mark Kidger

Details of booking will be announced later issue but in the meantime 
please reserve the date in your diaries. Announcements have already 
appeared on the TA WWW home page, and also on FAS WWW and BAA WWW
