IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ. Our next meeting on Tuesday 5th April at 19.00 will be a Special General Meeting, please attend. At the present time, the PAG has no current signed up members due to covid restrictions of the last couple of years. We are also short of committee members, which puts us in breach of our own constitutional rules, this situation cannot be allowed to continue, so we need to recruit people onto the committee or amend our constitution, we also need to discuss with you the way future meetings will go and the financing of the group. Please attend this meeting the future of the PAG may depend on the outcome of this meeting.

Hi All. My son, Toby, and I went to the meeting. Toby has said he wouldn't mind taking on a simple committee role. He is 16 if there is a minimum age for committee members? Good to talk to Rob Jones about astrophotography.
As mentioned in the meeting by someone Tuesdays are not a good night for us either. We are happy to join the group with a £20 membership fee, just let us know when and how we do that.
Rob

Hi Rob. I can see no reason why Toby could not be on the committee I was hoping to get the various positions sorted last night but due to the general chit-chat it didn't happen, Hopefully at our next meeting we can get this sorted out, and I can explain some of the committee's legal requirements such as data protection, child protection, audits and the groups' constitution that will need to be up dated.
Regards. Phil.

I was at the meeting last night, which was surprisingly well attended. It looks as if the Group now has a firm future.
I said I was willing to serve on the Committee, if required.

Hi, I attended the meeting last night, my first time at the group, and was encouraged by both the numbers and enthusiasm to secure the future of the group. I would be happy with a £20 membership and look forward to the establishment of the WhatsApp group. Cheers Ken McLean

Hi, I'm Toby I am Rob's son. As my Dad has said I'll hopefully get the telescope house built soon and will be able to use it again. I am fascinated by astronomy, in particular astrophysics which I hope to pursue as a career. Toby Smith

It's nice to see a new burst of enthusiasm, new ideas and technologies coming to the group, after ten years at it and ten years older, we have probably been a bit stuck in our ways and a bit short of the technical expertease needed these days.

Evening Phill maybe we should try to get together before the next meeting and go through things for the new committee members, regarding Toby if there no issue of the constitution think it good to have some one young involved. Robert Jones

A brilliant idea to get some young people on the committee, and a good idea also for committee to meet before next meeting in May

I think members are scattered the length and breadth of Pembrokeshire, and even beyond. Had one member who travelled down from Aberystwyth.. So some have quite a lot of travelling to attend. Not all as lucky as me being a hundred yards away. Probably need to have a rethink about meeting night at the next meeting. Will contact volunteer members over the weekend if we decide on a committee meeting before next meeting.
