Many people have suggested that I come to the meeting on the 14th.

So I would like to know some more details about the meeting. How many people will be there. What kind of people are they, what is the meeting place like,ect.

Sorry if I seem too suspicious but school is constantly filling our heads with e-safety!

Firstly how old are you Ganymede ? .On average i would say theres at least 5 people there ( but there can be double that ),we are all of varying ages and ability.The site is above Blaenavon it offers a 360 degree view of the night sky and suffers minimal light pollution.You have to be careful meeting people offline and being of school age i suggest you always have a parent to accomany you.But we offer a warm welcome to all

My suggestion would be that if you are school age, arrive before it is dark. There are always one or two of us that arrive early. I would suggest about 20:15ish. We are a very social group. While it is still light you can check us out. and make your hallo's.

I am sure Taffy 2 will send you all the info you need about the site.

The blaenavon sight is not far from Asda. There's a thread somewhere I made detailin the actual map showing where the site is. I'm on my phone now so I can't actually get access to the map. Have a look at one of the earlier meet threads there should be the latitude / longitude of the site :)
