Bath Taps into Science Exhibition at Green Park

11 & 12 March 2005

This is the second time the group has been able to set up a stand. Thanks must go to all those who contributed: Steve Kimmins, Michael Tabb and Richard Phillips, John Mudford, David Perkins, Allan Comer, who devised exhibits and who, with David Ladbrook helped supervise the stand. We were glad to be able to welcome John Wright, teacher from Monkton Combe School and some of his students who managed to get away from school activities to bring two solar telescopes. Unfortunately, the Sun became increasingly clouded over but we appreciated the gesture and their presence on the stand. The following photographs were taken by representatives from the University of Bath.
