Members Solar Picnic @ Adderstone Field, Dalby Forest
Jun 21 @ 11:30 – 14:30

Members are invited to gather at the popular Adderstone Field site to enjoy a picnic/BBQ together and hopefully some solar observing during the summer months.

For the 2015 summer meets, we have changed location from the Visitor Centre to Adderstone Field to offer a more relaxing location.

These meetings are informal, so drop by if you are passing.  There is no obligation to stay for the whole afternoon.  We will aim to finish by 3.30pm but members are welcome to stay later if they wish, or leave earlier if the weather conditions are poor.

Disposable BBQs are permitted on Adderstone Field if members prefer to bring a BBQ rather than a picnic – anything goes.
