The free Telescope Help Clinic was a great visit down at St Thomas' Village Hall this afternoon. So many telescopes for the beginner, the advanced and the astrophotographer.

Lots of other visitors who chatted about scopes for themselves or for loved ones. There were even some telescope repairs.

Todat is the Day!!!
See you all at St Thomas Church Hall, Wells this afternoon for the most special Telescope Help Clinic there has ever been!

Starts at 1pm. Be amazed by the plethora of telescopes and the knowledge of the local experts on hand to chat to.

If your spouse has ever looked up and wondered about the night sky, bring them along this afternoon and perhaps decide on a possible birthday or Christmas present. Perhaps you secretly yearn to be amongst the stars!

Rest assured. This is not a Sales event. This is all about helping people in and around Wells understand if stargazing is something they'd like to try and what kind of equipment might interest them.

Can't wait to meet you all. Refreshments available whilst you chat and stuff for little ones to get up to which doesn't involve hanging off the end of a huge telescope.
