Description
Wynyard Planetarium and Observatory is located close to Stockton on Tees. This place exists since about 25 years and it was originally operated by paid staff within the local council. Due to a funding crisis the place had been threatened by closure, but local amateurs managed to take this place over after forming the TASC (Teesside Astronomical Science Centre) charity. This presentation describes the advantages and challenges met when operating a planetarium completely by volunteers.
