New Astronomy Club to launch in September

Thanks Michael - I spent a year and a half as Treasurer of an Astro Society so I have a good feel for the financial side of it and I have some good local connections who should be able to help me out with a good venue. Being a beginners' club I am aiming to keep the membership subs reasonably low so I think the hotel option is beyond the pale!

Well done Paul Great to see new clubs been set up. It’s even better when it involves the astronomers of tomorrow Congratulations

Good luck Paul - I hope you get lots of interested people. Our club started up a few years ago and we found a lovely local pub with ample space out the back for observing and no charges involved. It suits us down to the ground but if you are looking at youngsters joining up a pub may not suit!
Best of luck,

Thanks Bernie - not sure a pub would be quite what I'm looking for - one has to keep one's different hobbies separate after all Although free sounds good - in the first instance I think we'll be running on enthusiasm rather than big wonga!

Thanks again for the encouragement!

Could any of the local schools or colleges help Paul?

This is the main line of enquiry at the moment.
