North Yorkshire Astronomical Society (NYAS)

[EA2007]

Hello,

I have been a member of this forum for a good few months now, well nearly a year I guess and as far as I know (to great dismay, but also to my advantage) there is no clear astronomy club or society for Englands largest (and greatest) county - North Yorkshire. There are sub-county clubs such as Scarborough and Filey Astronomy Club and Darlington and Cleveland aswell as Leeds and York (mainly university based I think).

So I have taken the bold step to start the ball rolling,

- I have setup a webpage (albeit on Facebook) which is available to anyone on Facebook, see:http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5591757979

- An e-mail address 'northyorksastro@googlemail.com'

-And also registered with the website http://www.astronomyclubs.com/

I would be very grateful to anyone in the North Yorkshire area, be it from as far north as Guisborough and Redcar to as far south as Doncaster as far east as Whitby and as far west as Settle etc. I would also welcome members from nearby clubs, after all we all share a common interest in the night sky.

The website only has 4 members as yet (mainly my friends) but with time I hope it to grow and for it to allow members to communicate and organise events etc.

Thankyou for reading.

P.S. Free membership offer, join before Christmas and recieve a free view of space*
