The CDAA Annual Christmas Quiz

At the December 7th meeting we had our Annual Christmas Quiz ably hosted by our secretary David Pugh. The members were split into teams and following a typical 'Pub Quiz' format, were questioned on their astronomical knowledge. The evening was both entertaining and informative.

The Next Meeting

The next and first meeting of the new year will be held as usual at the 'Friends Meeting House' in Granville Road, Clacton on January 4th 2007 where David Pugh will present his third and final talk on the subject of 'Galaxies'. Previous presentations in the series have focussed upon galaxy formation and those galaxies of our 'local group'. This third part is sub-titled 'Beyond the Local Group'.
