Hi George N

The Irish IYA 2009 is now on Twitter

so you can follow up dates easy.

At our event in Glendalough on April 4th I had two Native Americans visit my telescope and check out the moon. :-)

They were from Lakota Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota in the USA . We had 210 visitors to the park for a joint 100 Hours / Saturn Observation Campaign viewing.

I am going to Birr this Friday May 15th to do a moon drawing workshop in the village. I will also be visiting the Castle for a meeting, always worth a visit.
