The Stour Astronomical Society was established in March 2003 by Dr Kevin
Marshall and Geoff Burling. Its main aim is to fill a void in the county of
Suffolk where there is a lot of interest in astronomy but very few places to
go and meet other amateur astronomers. Also members can listen to talks
given by expert speakers, receive advice on what equipment you perhaps would
like to buy and what to observe in the night sky. Members are drawn from
nearby towns and villages in the Stour Valley area. You are very welcome to
come along on the first Tuesday of the month to meet fellow amateurs and to
deepen your love of the wonders of the night sky. As Visitors & Guests are
also welcome, please don’t forget to tell any friends who might also be
interested in astronomy! For Contact Details, Talk Schedule, Astronomy Links
