The Derby & District Astronomical Society celebrated it's 10th anniversary by holding Derby Astronomy Week from the 17th-24th April 1984. This kicked off with a lecture by Patrick Moore at Derby College of Higher Education on the 17th April, and continued with an exhibition put on by the Society at Derby Museum.
