We are due to experience a solar eclipse on Friday 20th March 2015
Solar Eclipse Local Timings
Partial Solar Eclipse
Eclipse Start Time - 09:20:34
Maximum Eclipse Time - 10:24:52
Eclipse End Time - 11:33:04
Eclipse Duration - 02 Hours 12 Mins 29 Secs

This should be quite good remember though  not too look at sun directly without the use of specialist eyewear (not sunglasses).

Cheers robpw2 for the info.

This date coincides with the spring equinox which traditionally marks the end of winter. More reason to celebrate and drink more beer...
