Star-B-Q:
See the Wonders
of the Universe through Ireland’s Biggest Telescopes
The weather reports all look very promising for our Star-B-Q extravaganza! This is our main fund-raising event of the summer and we will need to pass our final numbers along to the caterers. So if you are thinking of coming please let us know by Thursday morning.
The event will be held under the same dark skies of the Roundwood, Co. Wicklow, on Saturday, August 26 (just four days on!). Be sure to bring all family and friends with the smallest interest in the stars. They will not be disappointed!
