Come along and meet us


Where are meetings held?

Nearly all of our meetings are held in Croft House, which is the Red Cross Building off Western Avenue near the West Road in Newcastle. The easiest way to locate Western Avenue is to find the entrace to Newcastle General Hospital and then go down Grainger Park Road. Western Avenue is about 100 meters on the right. Meetings are normally held monthly on Thursday nights and start at 1900 hours.


When are meetings held?

Meetings are usually held on a monthly basis although, occasionally, external meetings are held in other venues. Details of all meetings and lectures are available on the Meetings page. Additional meetings and Star Parties are usually announced on facebook, and on the Home page.
