Just moved to S Wales

[billyharris72]

Hi all:

I've just moved to South Wales (halfway between Chepstow and Tintern, just above St. Arvans) and looking to scout out the astronomical landscape. Can anyone recommend any clubs or social groups in the area?

Cheers,

Billy.

The SGL South Wales group and an annual star party near Brecon (see the thread for the 2016 party in this sub forum). Next years star party may well be in March.

I know that the is an Astro Society in Monmouth. I met someone from St Bravels a few years ago (not too far from you) who was getting some observing sessions going up there, you might try digging around on the web to see if it's still going on. 

Other than that, the nearest one to you for sure is Usk Astro Soc which meet regularly and have observing sessions. http://www.uskastronomicalsociety.org.uk/
