Cork Astronomy Club monthly lectures are open to all, and visitors are welcome.  Lectures are held at 8 pm in the Ashley Cummins Building at UCC (formerly known as Civil Engineering).  Visitors who would like reminders should sign up for our monthly guest bulletin. 

Monthly meetings include a briefing on what to look for in the sky this month, as well as club announcements, enabling visitors to get a feel for our activities.  Tea and coffee are served after the meeting providing space for informal chats.
