We get involved in a wide range of events such as talks at schools and amateur astronomy clubs, special trade days, star parties and observing trips. Here's a list of the things we did in 2002. If your club or organisation would like Green Witch to attend one of your events, or organise a special event for you, please contact us.

The list is arranged in reverse chronological order.

• November 2002

• Friday, 29th November 2002 Sawtry Astronomical Society
  Neil gave a talk on the Whirlpool Star Party and our recent trip to Ireland. As always we enjoyed meeting up with old friends who made us particularly welcome. Despite the poor observing weather, which Harry Milford arranges without fail, the evening was great fun.

  October 2002

• Friday to Sunday, 4th to 6th October 2002 17th Whirlpool Star Party, Birr, Ireland
  This is one of the events we thoroughly recommend. For details of last year's meetings Click Here.

  September 2002

• Saturday, 21st September 2002 BAA Meeting in Cambridge
  Green Witch was there with a trade stand that created a great deal of interest.
• Friday 6th to Sunday 15th September 2002 8th Equinox Sky Camp
  Guest speakers, astro boot sale, telescope tours, prize raffle and an evening barbecue all feature at this annual event organised by the Loughton Astronomical Society and sponsored by BC&F. The main event day was Saturday 7th September; Wendy and Lesley were there with a small trade stand and Neil joined them, after the showroom at Dry Drayton closed, to try out different telescopes on a dark site. We also took along one of the new second generation night-vision scopes which impressed everyone who tried it.

  June 2002

• Friday, 28th June 2003. Death of our dear Judy
  Neil's wife Judy died after a long battle with Breast Cancer. Judy was our company secretary, book-keeper and accountant and her loss was a substantial blow to Green Witch as well as being a personal tragedy. She is sadly missed by all.

• Saturday, 26th January 2002 Astronomy for Absolute Beginners
  Another chance to attend one of our extremely popular one-day introductory courses. For further details click here. This was the first course to be held in our new unit. We have partitioned off an area to be used as an informal 'club room' for Cauldron Club members, and we used it for the course. It's very convenient as it gives us all a chance to meet and talk to the course members, even on a busy Saturday.
