AGM and Dr Perryman Talk

Event ended

AGM and Dr Perryman Talk

From Free

Online Event

Date

Jan 21 2022 19:00 - 22:00

Description

This year's AGM will take place online between 7pm and 7.45pm and will showcase the club's activities and achievements over the past year. 

From 8pm, we will join our fantastic guest speaker, Dr Michael Perryman for a talk all about the Gaia Mission. 

Dr Perryman is one of the co-originators of the Gaia mission to plot the position, motion, and brightness of a billion stars in the Milky Way with exquisite accuracy, revolutionising many areas of astronomy. After a 30-year career with the European Space Agency, Dr Perryman can provide a unique insight into the history and achievements of this ground breaking space telescope which since 2013 is positioned a million miles from Earth at the Lagrange point L2 (where it will soon be joined by the James Webb Space Telescope!).

This will be a great evening and we hope you can join us.

The Wells and Mendip Astronomy Committee

Organiser

Wells and Mendip Astronomers believe Space is or Everyone! 

Our goal as an astronomy society is to engage with local astronomy and space enthusiasts to enjoy, share and develop their interests and skills. Our aims extend to increasing public awareness and outreach events at this very important time for science and space exploration through our programme of events, talks and star parties.

We would like to welcome anyone interested in astronomy; whether you are a  beginner or experienced astronomer - young or old. We will do our best to help, so please come and join us. 


FAQ

  • I have not received my ticket via email. What should I do?

    The first thing to do is check your spam/junk filters and inboxes. Your tickets were sent as an attachment and can be thought of as spam by some email services. Alternatively, you can always find your tickets in your Billetto account that you can access in the browsers or the dedicated Billetto app. For more help with this, read here.

  • I wish to cancel my ticket and receive a refund. What should I do?

    The approval of refunds is entirely at the event organiser’s discretion, and you should get in contact with the event organiser to discuss what options are available to you. To get in touch with the event organiser, simply reply to your order confirmation email or use the "Contact organiser" form on the organiser's profile. For more help with this, read here.

  • I have registered on the waiting list, what happens now?

  • Where do I find a link to an online event?

    Check your order confirmation page or order confirmation email. Usually, the organiser of the event provides the details in the order confirmation email or they might send you a follow-up email with a link to their online event. You might also want to read the event description on Billetto where an event organiser should describe how to join the event online. For more information on this, read here.
