2009 is the International Year of Astronomy, marking 400 years since the telescope was first used to explore the universe. The society has the biggest programme of events in the UK, with activities for members and the public, and we invite everyone to join us in celebrating this special year. You can find full details of our activities in the IYA section of this website.

Whatever the level of your interest in astronomy, welcome to Letchworth & District Astronomical Society. The LDAS is based in Letchworth, Hertfordshire. We are a medium sized and friendly society, holding regular meetings, star parties and public events for members and the public alike. We are also more than happy to present talks to clubs, schools and other organisations in the area. Our meetings are held from 7:30pm on the last Wednesday of each month, normally at Plinston Hall in the centre of Letchworth, though this year we have some events at other locations. We also have an observatory to the north of Letchworth at the Standalone Farm Centre, where we hold observing sessions. You can find out more about the society on our "About us" page. We will be very active during the IYA and we welcome everyone in joining us to enjoy this fascinating hobby. Please look through these pages, and if you need any further information, do not hesitate to contact us. Jerry Stone FBIS FRAS |
