Aside from the weather which really made any visual observing impossible, the astronomy evening at WWT Slimbridge went really well, with a big crowd. Some disappointment not be able to see anything, but Martin gave a very nice talk about basic observing, and I followed up with some Sky Notes.
There were actually some stars visible through clear patches in the sky, but the sky never really cleared enough to be worth getting the telescopes out. However, the crescent moon burned through from time to time, and some stars were visible enough to give some people an idea of what was where with the laser pointer.
