If you visit the home page of 'The Astronomer' at:

http://www.theastronomer.org/

the yellow section contains further details and a link to a booking form 
for completion and return with remittance to the editor.

Finally a reminder that invitation is not restricted solely to TA 
subscribers and is open to non-members who can also, optionally, take 
out a trial magazine subscription (either pdf or paper) for £10 in the 
first year.

This mailing will also go to the student mailing lists, including the 
WEA, who are also very welcome.
