As work continues at the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium on a major three-month upgrade to many parts of the facility, we have found that we need to re-schedule the APS 2013 Meeting from late March to Monday/Tuesday, 22/23 April 2013. I regret the slip in dates, but it is unavoidable in order to meet obligations for our public opening in the Easter school holidays.

Please note that for the first time, the two-day meeting will not be on a weekend, but we will have the full use of the Cosmic Skydome for the Monday and Tuesday. Sky-Skan has kindly confirmed that they will once again sponsor the APS Dinner for members. Further information will follow next week, including some accommodation suggestions, etc.

We look forward to seeing many of you here in Brisbane to catch up on news from other members and vendors and see the results of our latest upgrades in the Cosmic Skydome (including only the second Megastar star projector to be installed in the Southern Hemisphere), as well as re-modelling of our foyer, gallery and shop areas.
