I've heard a lot of good things about it!  You can become a member or just pay £2 to visit on a Saturday night.  I've spoken with some people that have been and they've all said that the blokes that run it are very friendly and knowledgeable! They even help total N00bs like me! lol

After a quick search of my local area I found this!
Just outside of Todmorden on Bacup road, I've read the website and it seems like a really great place and they sound like really nice people!
I'm hoping to attend in the next few weeks!
Has anyone been up?

Yep, get yourself up there, you will have a ball. Peter and the gang are a very friendly and helpfull bunch. Only open on Saturdays nights, unless its a special occasion.

I'm from Mytholmroyd so its about a 5 mins drive for me!  I've only driven past it a few times but it does look quite impressive!

I'm just hoping to get a Saturday night that my daughter is at my mums, I'm not out with my girlfriend and its not cloudy! 

I read on the website that they'd had a break in a some very expensive equipment was stolen. It's such a shame that some people want to ruin such a good thing.

Here I am!. Just managed to get in through the snow drifts. We are inaccessible to vehicles at the moment but this might change by tomorrow night, best to send me an email for an update tomorrow. Just been observing the Sun with our 120mm Ha telescope, wonderful activity today.  :smiley:

My wife and I visited today with our new scope. Pete was exceptionally friendly and really knew his stuff without being condescending or patronising. Learned a few things and had a nice tour of the site. Needless to say we're becoming members. Great place.
