Astronomy in Yorkshire Dales

Anyone know of any club in the Yorkshire Dales?

I live in Hawes near Leyburn

Hi Steve,

You are kind of in the middle of quite a few non-local AS where you are.

South you have York AS, Harrogate AS, and Leeds AS, east you have
Scarborough & Rydale AS, North you have Cleavland & Darlington AS, but I
can't think of one really local to you. Maybe it's a sign for you to start
a new one :-).

York AS have a big public Star Party at the top of Sutton Bank, in the
visitor's car park, on Saturday the 15th of December if you feel like a
drive? 6:30pm onwards.


Very best wishes and clear, dark skies.

Is there any particular reason for having the text on that page
unreadably small and not resizable by IE6 Zoom or Ctrl-Mousewheel?

Or for not spell-checking it? a Society should be able to spell its own
name and the location of its recent AGM correctly every time.

The Federation of Astronmical Societies aims to be a body of societies

Any special reason you need IE6 ?
It is ok and resizable in Firefox

yada yadayada, _get_a_life_, it was all perfectly unnerstannable,
I suggest you decamp to an engleesh language newsgroup.

It is claptrap like your funnelweb spider activities that contribute
to the death of usnet groups like thisun.

But highly unpolished. If you want to create a good impression and
persuade people to take you seriously, presentation is important,
whether online or off.

Go for it Steve
You've got some excellent locations to exclude any extraneous light...
You may even be able to start competing with Keilder for a star
party
