"Heavens Above" Exhibition

January 27^th - 28^th 2007

The exhibition was regarded as a great success by all who came to visit.  Over the 2 days, almost 200 people came to see the exhibits, listen to the great selection of talks and hopefully took away with them a little of what the Northamptonshire Natural History Society stands for and what we do as a Society. Many thanks go to the Open University for supplying the models and displays, and providing a variety of meteorites, including one from Mars!! Below are just a few images taken during the weekend's events...
