However we would add that any non-subscribers are also very welcome to book their attendance for this event and we would be delighted to see you. Could we suggest you take advantage of an early submission of your booking for which a discount applies to the admission rate. The event will be held at St. Mary's Church Complex, Goat Lane, Basingstoke starting at 11.00am. The preliminary list of speakers is given below: 'Are We Alone?': Dr. Robin Catchpole 'Deep Sky Astrophotography with a Newtonian reflector': John Murphy 'Quasars' (provisional title only): Dr. Mark Kidger 'Webcam Imaging of Venus and Mercury': Chris Hooker 'Astro Question Time' 'A Survey Telescope for Detecting Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt Objects': Eamonn Ansbro A number of people have mentioned their wish to mount an exhibition at this meeting. Could I now ask that you e-mail me to confirm earlier conversations and give an indication of the subject matter and how much space is required. Due to an intermittent postal strike some areas have not had their mail delivered for some time. If you are a non-subscriber or do not yet have your magazine please log in to: http://www.theastronomer.org/index.html The central yellow panel under 'Forthcoming Events' has links to further information and also to a booking form which can be printed out for submission with your remittance to the editor.
