His subject was Astronomers Royal through the Ages, with a slideshow of photographs, with added off-topic chat about various Government officials he's had dealings with over the years. Amazingly it's 9 years since I last attended one of the monthly meetings, but a few people remembered me and the guest speaker was very interesting.

 Posted Oct 7, 2009 by Moonhogg - Captain Coffee Break. Season's Greetings! That sounds great - are you hoping to make this a monthly outing?

 Posted Oct 7, 2009 by Galaxy Babe Yep. My daughter is nagging me to get out more. Apparently it's how you meet people, and how lonely people find partners.

 Posted Oct 8, 2009 by Moonhogg - Captain Coffee Break. Season's Greetings! Would the collective noun for a group of astronomers be a constellation?
And if two got together, would it be a binary?

Bright Sparks - that would be a striking couple

 Posted Oct 10, 2009 by AlsoRan80 DEar Granny Weatherwax,,
I have been reading about you for ages but have never met you.
I hope you are keeping well. You say you are fed up with the hospital staff. Have you been ill? I hope not.
I have been busy most of today and now it is taking it's toll. I hope to be able to have an opportunity to talk to you again.
With best wishes,
Christiane AlsoRan80

 Posted Nov 4, 2009 by Galaxy Babe from the Uni of Nottingham, school of physics and astronomy, is going to be giving the talk tonight at the monthly meeting of the CDAS. I'm very excited as the talk is entitled "The Centre of our Galaxy"
I watched Horizon last night, which was about black holes, so if he asks any questions I should be able to stick my hand up
