Tonight we welcomed one of our very own, Mr Iain Rollo. He gave a fantastic presentation on all things aurora. From how they are generated, how aurora activity is predicted, how to find out if there is any activity and how to get the best possible pictures. Below you will find links to the websites mentioned throughout his talk. These are for you to utilise in you quest for that elusive aurora picture.
Thank you Iain for another great presentation.

Wow what a first night we had at SPG. It was fantastic to see so many returning members and all the new members that joined our fabulous group. A big mention must go to Debbie for her delicious home bakes. They were enjoyed by everyone. Cannot wait to see you all again next week.
SPG had an article published in the Northern Scot regarding the club becoming champions of the Grampian Eye 2022.

Absolutely delighted that SPG are 2022 Grampian Eye Champions. One of our members, Paul Scott also picked the trophy for the top image.
. Excellent result for only our second time entering the Grampian Eye.
It has been brought to my attention that only 17 tickets have been purchased for our awards night the highlight of our season. When I asked everybody at our club night a few weeks ago there were indications of at least 30 ticket sales.
They are only £6 so get your tickets and support your club or there will be no point in having an awards night in the future.
Thank you
Lenny
A great night at the club last night with out guest speaker Beverly Thain. Beverly did a brilliant talk on how she achieved her licentiate qualification with the Societies. Her panel of 20 wildlife images were absolutely stunning and her talk was very inspiring. Thankyou Beverly our members loved it.
