Hey Astro Club!
Tomorrow we’ll be partnering with the Physics Society and Biophysics Society for our Annual March Barbeque.
Come out to the front of Hennings (or lobby, if weather doesn’t permit) to grab some food:
Burgers are $3
Bacon burgers are $4
Pop is $1
The event will start at 11am, and run until we run out of food.
See you there!
The Astronomy Club will be holding it’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) next Wednesday.
At this meeting, we’ll elect the executive team for the next Academic year.
If you’re interested in becoming an executive, or want a say in how the club looks next year, make sure you come out.
Date: Wednesday, Mar. 6th
Time: 5:30
Place: Hennings 307
Free Food (Yeah, you heard me): Pizza
There are 15 positions open to all Astronomy Club members:
If there are any questions about the election or the positions, feel free to email comand92@hotmail.com
The moon is almost full on Friday this week, so we won’t be able to see as much as we’d like to at our Dark Sky Night.
We’d like to hold the event during an (almost) new moon, so we’re pushing it back by two weeks.
The new night is Friday, Mar. 8th. We’ll still meet at Mcdonald Park at 8pm.

Please contact the club if you’re interested in going, and indicate whether or not you can drive, so that we can arrange rides for everyone.
We’ve got quite a few events coming up over the next couple of weeks. Here’s a quick breakdown.
1. Star Party (Day Unknown)
Most forecasts call for some sun and clear skies at some point this week, which means we’ll be out stargazing. We’ll send out a message/email on the day that we go, so be prepared and check often.
2. Nerd Love (Feb. 15th, 8 til late)
This five club collaborative Valentine’s Dance is sure to be one of the biggest parties of the year. Tickets will not be sold at the door, so make sure you sing by Ladha between 11 and 2 Tuesday or Wednesday to get tickets.

3. Seattle Trip (Feb. 16th-17th)
Our friends in the Aviation Club have invited us on their annual Seattle Trip, featuring a tour of a Boeing factory, a tour of the Museum of Aviation and Spacecraft, and some time to explore downtown Seattle. Accommodations and transport will be provided.
