We hold monthly meetings on the third Wednesday of each month (except January and December) at 7.30pm. Meetings are held in person at Kingswood, and also online using Zoom meeting software.

The meeting consists of 20-30 minutes of club business, followed by a talk by a guest speaker. Speakers are usually professional astronomers, or WSAAG club members. You can see a list of our previous speakers on our past speakers page.

If you would like to attend a monthly meeting, please email us and include:

• The date you would like to attend

• First and last names of all those attending

• Whether you will attend in person or online

You will then be provided with the meeting location and Zoom link.

Note: The talks by our guest speakers vary greatly in academic level, but they are generally for an audience of high-school level and above.

Sky viewing is held about twice a month on Satuday evenings around the time of the new moon at Linden Observatory. Visitors may attend on one evening per month. Check the dates of upcoming visitor nights on our Events Calendar. The Linden Trust, which owns the site, requests a donation of $10 per person which goes towards upkeep of the site.

If you would like to attend a viewing night please email us and include:

• The date you would like to attend

• First and last names of all those attending

• Number of vehicles you will be bringing

For safety reasons we do not allow children under 12 to attend observing nights.

You are welcome to bring your own telescope if you have one. However, we do not offer any assistance in using it unless you are a member. On your first visit, we recommend looking through our telescopes instead.

If the session is cancelled due to bad weather you will be notified by email (usually the day before).
