Better that old people should die of talk than to have young people die in war.
Outreach idea was created by jhoare
How often have you spent a significant amount of time waiting in a doctor's or dentist's waiting room where the only reading material is either health promotion leaflets or women's magazines, copies of Hello etc.? It may not be hell for some of the ladies, but it bores me to death.
What do you do with your old astronomy magazines when you don't want them cluttering up the house? If you simply put them in the recycling bin then perhaps we are missing an opportunity.
Here's my idea: print off some simple labels giving your local astronomy club's details, e.g.
"Courtesy of Kildare Astronomy Society
www.kildareastronomy.com "
Put the labels on your old magazines and drop them off at your local doctor's or dentist's surgery or health clinic as reading material for those waiting their turn.

I can see it now.

I don't think it's a bad idea at all. But you'd need some decent literature to do it. This is where some IFAS collateral might be useful, but we'd need some $$$$
