IYA 2009 Solar System Quiz – Prize Winners

In April 2009 the Farnham Astronomical Society put on a great show for the International Year of Astronomy (IYA) 2009 (see event details).  As part of this event we held a solar system quiz for the under 16s.  The children had to find displays featuring information about  solar system which had been positioned strategically around the site.  Of the many entries, three winning entries were picked to receive their prizes at our June meeting – each was given a framed certificate and an astronomy book.  The prizes were awarded by our guest speaker Dr Helen Walker.
