[BAA-ebulletin 00815] Reminder about the Glasgow Back to Basics

Calling all members and those who would like to learn about a different
area of observing this workshop is for you.

With the nights drawing in and in hope of lots of clear nights this is a
good time to find out what you can do in the way of observing, how easy it
is to do and what to do with your findings.

Glasgow at the Premier Inn Glasgow City Centre (George Square) Hotel, 187
