Come and Join us at the

 Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester

We are pleased to announce that once again the Association for Astronomy Education and the British Association of Planetaria will hold their Annual Meetings together. These will take place on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th May 2005 (Social rendezvous on the Friday evening) at the world famous Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. For more details of the Museum, please visit www.msim.org.uk

Situated in the oldest passenger railway buildings in the world, the Museum tells the story of the history, science and industry of Manchester - the world's first industrial city. At the weekends, many of the exhibits are 'in steam' and have to be seen to be believed!

The museum is the home to the reconstruction of the world’s first stored program computer.

The original was built at Manchester University just over 50 years ago.

This programme gives an indication of the extent of activities of what promises to be a unique and exciting weekend for all of us:
