Open University Astronomy Club

Last updated 3 September 2025

Special General Meeting on 2 September 2025

It was unanimously decided to cease monthly meetings as the membership was now too low to justify inviting speakers

the club will continue as the "Observatory Support Group"

In addition to the observatory itself we will host outreach groups in the Robert Hooke Building

Watch this space for updates on how to book an observatory visit.
