Where is my nearest club/group

[crazyjedi]

I live in deepest not-so-darkest south Birmingham. What would be my nearest club/group/like minded collective?????

Is there anything in the West Midlands? I live rather close to the M5 and it's lovely orange lights so it'd be nice to have local info on where to go to find some darkness. (So long as i don't end up getting chased from a farmers land by a pitch fork wielding mad man)

Try the FAS Web site. They list most local clubs.

See West Midlands entry here:

Federation of Astronomical Societies - Member Societies

Here's a link to the B'ham Uni Astro Soc - apparently their obsy got vandalised but I'm sure they'll have alternative venues:

Birmingham Astronomical Society |

If you join them they may lend you a scope to try out - get a big 'un lol
