CMHASD Christmas Quiz – 2024

CMHASD members David Grist and Steve Floodgate pulled out all the stops to provide a night of head scratching, puzzlement and fun.  Thank you Dave & Steve for all your hard work & effort creating the quiz.  It was a great night and we are all looking forward to the next one!

Chairman John Archer wrote ''The Christmas Quiz was a great success – the men in brown coats did a splendid job and there was a very wide range of astronomy-related questions to contend with. Thank you Steve and Dave for the time you put into it, and to those who recorded the questions for those who couldn’t join us on the night.''

Congratulations to Neil Webster for winning the best Christmas jumper :-)

Congratulations to the winning team 'Positive Thinking' :-)

Member George Buckberry with his hand built Solar Projector

Last week following our Society meeting on the 26th January 2023, we learned about the design and construction of a table-top solar projector built by George Buckberry. After all of the effort involved in building the projector, George has very kindly donated it to the Society for use by members and also as a means of educating the public at one of our outreach events. Thank you George for your very kind donation.

Below is a link to George's PowerPoint presentation of how George built the Solar Projector in the form of a PDF file which you can download.
