Sept 22: The annual meeting of The
Astronomer, held at St Mary's Church Hall - Basingstoke, is
the opportunity to meet top amateur astronomers and hear an excellent range
of talks in familiar surroundings. There was a capacity attendance
of 50. Three of the talks were on the hot topic of nova discovery
and a follow-up talk on GRB. Guy Hurst,TA Editor, presented
book prizes to Arto Oksanen [cover award] and
Mark Armstrong [best overall
contribution] for the last year.
The meeting stood in silence to the memory of TA members George Alcock and John Hosty and those who lost their lives at the WTC - New York.
