Hi Matt
I have been an ASV member on and off since I was in my teens. I am 54 now. It is a great club with lots of interesting people and great facilities - dark sky site, club room, library, assorted interest groups, telescopes for loan, interesting speakers at monthly meetings etc.
I would recommend joining one of the interest sections. There is a new astronomers group for example. I think that's the best way to get to know people.
I have often joined other clubs closer to where I live which I have thoroughly enjoyed too but I would always keep my ASV membership. Access to the Heathcote dark sky site is worth the membership price on its own for me.
Hope that helps
Rod.
