Hi Brian, Where about in the N.W do you reside? I am from sunny Liverpool and I am a member of the Liverpool A.S. Details of meeting and events can be found at the website http://www.liverpoolas.org/

There are, of course, other societies in the North West such as Manchester, Salford and Chester to name just three. A detailed list can be found on the Federation of Astronomical Societies web site at

Take the link at the top of this page to Astropedia. Part of SGL. On the main menu there is a link to Astro Societies. They are listed by county.

there's a group in Preston.

They meet 2nd Wednesday of the month at the conservative club opposite Moore Park observatory on Blackpool Rd near Deepdale.
