Observatory viewing platform Following the generous donation of £13,000 by the Friends of Keele for an Observatory viewing platform to celebrate Keele University's 50th anniversary, members gathered on campus last weekend for its inauguration.

The event included the official unveiling of the viewing platform plaque by Friends Chair, Brenda Jones, sun watching, a tour and astronomy talk, plus demonstrations of the telescopes.
 
Brenda said: "The Friends of Keele have supported a number of projects over the last 50 years, both large and small, but all demonstrating the on-going support and the interest of the Friends in this unique University. We look forward to the next 50 years of Keele and hope that the Friends will continue to prosper."
