	BIS Diary Notice Andy Nimmo of the Space Settlers' Society has asked me to let you know the following: The Space Settlers’ Society are planning to hold a meeting on Saturday 28th June in Glasgow, Scotland, at which we'll have talks on Tunguska (the 100th anniversary of which is on the 30th) and Apophis the asteroid that’ll pass Earth closer than geosynchronous orbit in April 2029, then close again in the mid 2030s with discussion on what should be done about such things. This will be organized as a fund-raiser to assist Spaceguard UK getting a new camera set up. They need £65K and while we may not raise all that, if we make a DVD of the event and sell this on the internet with all profit going to Spaceguard we may at least make some dent in the required sum. Naturally we’ll get the best speakers we can at our meeting and the DVD will also have lots of extra info on it about Tunguska and Spaceguard and its mission to protect our planet along with lots of info about asteroids and comets including the ESA, NASA, JAXA and other missions to Halley’s Comet, Eros, Itokawa etc. If you’d like to come up to Scotland for the event or would like us to book you a copy of the DVD – provisional sale price £15 – please get in touch right away with Andy Nimmo of the Space Settlers’ Society at andynimmo@yahoo.com
