CfDS 2006 presentations

All who attended the Portsmouth "CfDS 2006" dark-sky symposium agreed that in its organisation, logistics and variety of programme, it was a good one! Delegates from the UK and many other countries went away informed and inspired. Lembit Opik MP, Robert Key MP and an array of speakers explored many avenues of the dark-sky debate.
