I WAS interested to read of how George Cowley copes when feeling down, (You Say, August 9).

Before becoming interested in astronomy, I would often feel despondent on the approach of dark winter evenings.

This negative feeling is now replaced with anticipation as I look forward to seeing the beautiful winter constellations again.

Worcester Astronomical Society are running a series of talks aimed at beginners from this September. More information can be obtained from our website - www.worcesteras.freeserve.co.uk or from myself on ( 01905) 420531.
