Congratulations Conan on a very fine piece in this week's Limerick Independent (page 12). You certainly gave a good description of what Astronomy is about and how it is for everybody. I do hope that the public appreciate what a great opportunity the 'Free observing sessions' on April 2/5 are and plenty of people turn up. Clear skies for those dates!
It is very timely that your piece is in the Limerick Independent because in the Limerick Post this week is a large advertisement from AI for Astronomy classes in UL --- 8 classes cost 180 Euro. Interestingly they are offering 2 free places to the 'winners' of a competition. The competition question is: What planet in the solar system is famous for its rings? Everyone knows that Uranus is the answer to this so they should get plenty of replies
Again, well done.

Excellent stuff Conan, the article looks the business !!!
Hitting all the points well, including the clubs free observing sessions and the starparty.
As for the AI add, good luck to them with their commercial venture.
