Events are publicised by BRLSI in their newsletter and by email to WHS members who elect to receive them. Membership of the WHS is recommended and only costs £10 a year: go to http://www.williamherschel.org.uk/membership/.

Since we are not in a position to schedule any live lectures in the near future, we are examining the possibility of presenting lectures and interviews online in some form. If we are able to make progress with this, we will announce it here and to Herschel Group mailing list.
