#Perth #WA at our AGM a few weeks ago our Chairperson Diana retired as Chairperson, but in her last act, Diana bestowed life membership on Bevan who has been a volunteer since the beginning of the volunteer group in 1996. Unfortunately, Bevan misspoke during the ceremony and Diana struck him down due to the mistake. Don't worry, it was only a flesh wound

#Perth #WA as part of our @Lotterywest grant an amazing group of our volunteers are digitising 23,000 astronomical photographic glass plates that were taken between 1903 and 1999. The work will not only protect these important historical plates but will also allow researchers to do research with them. Read our latest article about this amazing effort:
