Bob Mizon is Coordinator of the BAA Campaign for Dark Skies (CfDS) and Vice-chair of the Wessex Astro Society in Dorset.  Bob runs a travelling planetarium ‘for fun’ and reckons he has entertained 62,000 school kids since 1996!  He lives in Child Oakford Dorset, which he shares with Sooty & Sweep.

CfDS was founded in 1989 and Bob has been coordinator for the last 11 years.  He clearly brings total focus and great energy to the role, and, although it’s a labour of Hercules, it looks like he is beginning to have some success.

Nobody in the campaign advocates a return to the ‘dark ages’.  Bob argues eloquently that the campaign aim is “the right amount of light only where needed”.
