Anyone heard of this?

Astronomy talks in pubs.

Mainly an American thing but apparently Edinburgh and Portsmouth have had some. Just been to a couple of interesting talks in Leiden on the formation of stars, and supermassive black holes, plus a few drinks and a nice dinner beforehand. Not a bad evening out if you're interested in such things.

From gastropubs to astropubs. Sounds interesting.

Surely they can't be sirius about this.

An excellent idea, going down to the local for a few pints with your M8s. Not too many though, or it could get Messier.

Sounds like a great idea - as long as the pub grub isn't restricted to those on a Vegan diet.

Should be accessible - there are bound to be satellites.

Good point. Those interested need regular updates...a new general catalogue would be useful.
