Ordinary Meetings at High Elms

Map showing location of High Elms

The High Elms Nature Centre on Shire Lane has now been re-opened, and our regular monthly meetings are now being held there. Car-parking at the Nature Centre itself is restricted to those with mobility difficulties and those bringing equipment. Most members should park in the main High-Elms car-park as shown on the map. This car park will remain open until after our meeting.

 
Observing Sites

Our observing evenings are being held in the High Elms grounds. However, we will meet at the Change of Horses in Farnborough Village beforehand. Please come to the Change of Horses and don't try going straight to High Elms. Here is a map .

This will not initially be available for loan to individual members, but will be used at Society observing sessions, at public events to promote astronomy, and at schools to support astronomy education.
