Annual Meeting of the Deep Sky Section, 2011 March 12

held at Ashford Village Hall, Ashford Hill, Berkshire

He especially thanked Ann Davies and David Boyd for arranging the refreshments. He explained that this year marked the thirtieth anniversary of the Section's foundation, in September 1981, and so this year’s meeting would be a timely opportunity for several talks reviewing the changes seen over those three decades.
