In September, Dave went on a
fact finding trip to various observatories on the island of La
Palma in the Canary Islands.
Part of the visit was to
look at the ways the observatories undertake public
outreach/communication, as part of his role with the IAU. Also
this trip enabled AURIGA to forge links with international
organisations and obtain UNIQUE HIS RES images for our shows.

On Wednesday 20th December 2007, Dave was
delighted to open a new science facility at Royston High School
& Science College in Barnsley.
Following in the
illustrious footsteps of Dr Allan Chapman Who opened the last
facility, Dave was honoured to accept an invitation to open the
college's new outdoor science 'Quad' and even more honoured when
the school decided to call it after Auriga Astronomy 'The Auriga
Sky Quad' to our knowledge this is the first school facility in
the UK officially named after either a mobile or fixed
planetarium!
