I began writing these words on the last day of the Twentieth Century, to summarise the 1998-1999-2000 apparition of Mars, but I have had to update the narrative since, as some dedicated members (notably Mario Frassati, Martin Gaskell and Walter Haas (visual), Wei Leong, Frank Melillo and Don Parker (CCD)) continued to struggle to secure late observations despite the tiny diameter and the low altitude of the planet as it approached solar conjunction (due on July 1). Despite the low altitude of Mars in the UK throughout much of the apparition just ended, much useful work was done by the Section. As of mid-March, as this article goes to the Editor, some observers continue to record the features on the tiny 4-arcsecond disk (Figure 1d). (Includes colour images)
