The general public in the Algarve region has also been able to take advantage of his planetarium, solar system models, telescopes and others tools.
In association with the Algarve History Association (AHA), Clive gave the first of his astronomical talks to a full house in November 2011 and he is programmed to give four more talks to AHA in 2012 and a further four observation sessions.
