Our normal ongoing program includes monthly meetings every second Tuesday of the month (February to November) at 7:30 pm at Wirilda Education Centre, and observing nights on Friday nights around new moon. We schedule two of these - if it is cloudy for the first, we cancel it and run the second. If it is cloudy for the second as well, we run the backup program is one is organised, otherwise it is also cancelled. We usually conclude the year with a "Starbecue" on the first weekend of December
