WOLAS 'Members Only' pages go live
We have recently added extra functionality to this website to include special pages only visible to WOLAS members who are logged-in with their user account. Up until now, the main benefit of logging in was that you could pay your yearly subscription electronically. Now you can also see the new ‘Members Only’ section which includes the following pages:
Your Committee – details of who makes up the WOLAS committee, what they look like and how to contact them
WOLAS newsletters – recent WOLAS newsletters as pdfs
Piggott’s Farm Observing – details of our darker observing location in the Chilterns, how to get there, when it’s on and who to contact beforehand.
Monthly Observing Slot Submissions – How to enter an image into the Observing Slot at the monthly meeting
WOLAS loan items – list of WOLAS equipment items available for loan to WOLAS members
WOLAS Yahoo Group – details of the WOLAS discussion group and how to join it
To see these pages you will need to first log in with your WOLAS user name and password and you should have received an email from our treasurer, Martin Lewis, at the end of October explaining how to set this up (if you haven’t done this already).
If you have not received the recent email then this either means our records have an old email address for you, no email address at all for you, or have you down as sharing an email account with another member.
If you want to set up a user account and did not receive the email or have other difficulties setting this up then please request help by emailing Martin on the Contact Us page.

Coming Events/WOLAS News
– Transit of Venus, 6 June. We have arranged an observing event at Hillingdon Athletics Stadium (Gatting Way, Uxbridge, Middlesex, UB8 1ES) from 4.30 to 6am on the morning of 6 June. This is off Park Road by Uxbridge Common, where the swimming pool is. The location has excellent views to the northeast and car parking is available. All are welcome. Further details on our Observing Events page.
Please note that the end of the transit will be 5.55 BST, not 5.37 as shown in copies of the newsletter handed out at the May meeting. 5.37 is the time when Venus begins to leave the Sun's disc.
