charge (BAA members and non members alike).  Contact the BAA office now, or
book your place online atwww.britastro.org/xmaslecture2015

Do let us know straight away if you have already booked, but will not now
be able to come, so that we can give your place to someone else.

Because we have so many people coming we will split the registration into
alpha sets so please go to the table appropriate to your surname to help
ease any overcrowding.

We will also have the BAA Sales Stand and Peak 2 Valley Instrument coming

Christmas.
